I just got approved for DTV from Los Angeles and I wanted to share my experience. 

Applied February 4th and got approved February 14th. 

Applied under soft power and pre-paid muay thai classes for 9 months. This school had many branches and it was close to my condo. 9 months was the only length they had. 

Provided only 1 month of bank statement. Drivers license for proof of residence in the US. Flight number but no proof of flight purchased required. Condo address in Bangkok but didn't have to show proof of a lease. 

It was fairly easy. They didn't ask for any more info. Just be careful with the birthday. It kept changing on its own by one day or one year. Make sure you look at your birthday carefully on the last page before you submit. Also, I have a hyphen in my middle name and I thought I forgot to put it in the application. Make sure your name looks identical to your passport.

A great result. Now I've just gotta research what soft power is. I want to study buddhist philosophy in Thailand. I've already been practising at a temple as a nun for 6 weeks however I'm heading to Chiang mai to for a month to investigate courses. Thank you for sharing

And how much you have to pay for that 9 months course?.

I would like to apply through soft power this month. It would be very helpful.

Thank you very much.

Fitfac Muay Thai. They have many locations all over bkk. I chose them mostly for the location. They also have weight training. 35,990 for 9 months. They were very responsive and helpful.
