What is the process for obtaining a Destination Thailand Visa through a cooking school?

I was approved in 8 days for Destinatipn Thailand Visa with Tingly Thai Cooking School. Went from pending document check to pending approval in 5 days, after 3 days and a weekend, pending approval turned to visa issued at 10AM on the 8th day (5th working day).

The cost of the course is 20,000 baht. Everything is included. Cooking materials, food, visa support. They send you an email with 5 documents (attached).

For 6 months, you only come in 12 times, it was first and last saturday of the month. You stay for 4 hours and make two meals. You can take the food home.

Soft power: cooking

Cost: 20,000 baht + DTV application fee

(You get 24 meals for 20k baht basically)

Visa length: full 5 years 180+ stamp each time.

I applied with a non seasoned easy access savings account, balance was £12,000. I explained that I moved money from locked high yield to current account, and explained that I typically dont keep that much money in my checking, in case of theft, in case of unauthorised charges, but also, that my bank doesnt pay interest on checkings balance. I did not show the yield savings account, I only showed the transfer confirmation and highlighted the £12,900 deposit from savings to checking. £12k was in my account for 2 days. They do not accept investments, money market funds or locked yields. It has to be liquid.

Then you get the visa

No need for an agency. I applied in Hanoi. I also submitted photos of myself in the application, photos of me with my friends. For the introduce yourself, I said I am living in Thailand, I do not drink alcohol I do not party I have decided to spend my money in Thailand blah blah blah 🤣

Basically, show them you are not a risk or liability. I was not called for interview.
