Hey everyone

I am currently on Koh Samui and I am looking for a 'soft power' course, that is eligible to apply for a DTV visa. Preferably sports, but not MT. (language school if eligible).

Does anyone of you know a place here on the island, that has at best already experience with approved applicants?

Also, do you guys know if 'Thai language' course can fall under the DTV category or will that require an edu visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information on 'soft power' courses on Koh Samui that qualify for a DTV visa, with a preference for sports-related courses but is open to eligible language schools. They inquire about the approval of Thai language courses under the DTV category, with one commenter mentioning that language courses may not generally qualify for DTV visas and recommending contacting the relevant embassy for confirmation.

There was someone who said they got a DTV via a language course from the embassy in London. You should contact the embassy you will apply from to confirm if they accept language courses. The edu visa covers Thai language courses. Many embassies don't approve such courses for the DTV.
