The last time I made a detailed step by step video guide on how i compile and submit my docs for the dtv application and it helped soooo many people! So I hope my video helps, especially for those who are wondering what happens after you finish 6 months of muay thai etc under the soft power scheme

Funny that if you're polite and courteous to the IO staff, they will just do the job and you're on your way. Act like a pelican anywhere in Thailand and they will give it straight back to you. I've seen a person interact with a police officer at a traffic stop in the same manner for no reason at all, and he ended up in handcuffs ๐Ÿคฃ

I did mine on soft power a few months after it was available - it was very easy. So I wonder how - since you have the visa already - can you have the experience to talk about it being requirements have changed so much.

Hi I donโ€™t see your video on your dtv visa application. Can you link it? Also I would love to be friends, we are visiting in 2 months and moving after the first of the year ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’•

Good video, you're a bright, well spoken girl who has a great grasp on the verbiage, ins and outs, and your responsibilities. Enjoy
