I’d like to share my DTV journey with soft culinary skills training, in case it helps others.
I chose Arun Thai Cooking after comparing different schools, mainly because their packages looked reliable and interesting. They offer two options; 6 months or 1 year, with or without a visa support package. Since I’m from a low-income country, I decided to go with the visa support option, which includes a full refund guarantee if anything goes wrong with the visa application. That gave me some peace of mind.
For the visa process, the school arranged the connection with Issa Compass, which made everything easier.and honestly, the application process was very smooth and effortless.
My timeline:
Application submitted: 3 January
Pending approval: 5 January
Additional documents + interview request: 7 January (afternoon)
Visa approved: 7 January (evening)
I’m now in Bangkok for the course. The program is very flexible. You can book and attend classes on the dates that work best for you, which makes it easy to manage your schedule.
Hope this helps anyone considering a similar path 😊
