TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry is about finding cooking schools in Chiang Mai that are approved for the DTV visa. Responses indicate that there is no specific list of 'DTV approved' schools as each embassy has different approval criteria. To qualify for the DTV visa, the school must be legally registered and recognized by the Ministry of Education, and it's suggested to choose programs that last at least 30 days to meet embassy requirements.
The school must be legally registered, and approved by the ministry of education. The problems with different Thai embassies on what they approve is not so much the school, although they must be licensed with the ministry of education, it is the length of time you sign up for. Most are now wanting at least a 30 day program at a minimum. As they see the abuse growing this time frame increases.
There's no such thing as a DTV approved school. Each embassy decides what qualifies, so what one embassy might accept, another might reject. You need to find out what the embassy you will be applying at requires to qualify for DTV.
