ORIGINAL POSTERI'm applying DTV thru the discover thai nature course, the embassy has only mostly asked for a purpose of stay document detailing my plans in thailand (like what I intend to do on a daily basis, income/expense ratio, and if im staying for less then 6 months this time when do I plan to return). I'm currently on a gap year (finished study already) and will be living off savings until I get a new job. I dont want to over complicate the visa process obviously, what would you recommend me to (not) include in this document?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for a DTV visa through the Discover Thai Nature course and seeks guidance on what to include or avoid in a purpose of stay document requested by the embassy. The comments suggest that the success of this course can vary by embassy, and it may be beneficial to clearly outline plans for a longer stay than six months, as this might affect the visa type received.

Doing the same as loads of others, can be the short road to rejection.

Which embassy are you applying from? Highlight you plan to stay much longer than 6mths seems like they are willing to give you a METV instead of the DTV. The course is hit n miss with embassies.

Anonymous participant A year course is a plus.. So show you can support yourself for 1- 2 years . Ask Discover Nature if the embassy you will use has approved DTVs for them.

That course has mixed results. Some consulates don't like it
