Hello everyone, I want to apply for a DTV visa through soft power (seminar) next week. (Turkish Passport)

Which do you recommend? The Thai Embassy in Hanoi or the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City? or another country?

DTV via Soft Power for Medical treatment? I am looking for Soft Power DTV and I see thai language course is not always accepted. I don't need Muay Thai.

I was wondering for Hair Loss Treatment (maybe one mesotherapy session each 4 months) as Medical treatment for Soft power. Do you think it could work?

I'm already looking into doing the treatment anyways so I thought I could take advantage of it.

I want to apply for DTV in Vietnam. I am basically eligible for both, workation and Myai Thai camp (soft power). Now I am choosing an option to go with. I am more inclining towards Myai Thai (since I want to attend classes anyway). Are there any disadvantages with soft power path compared to workation? Based on available history, which of them (soft power or workation) is easier when re-entering (after 6 month)? Do they ask a re-confirmation that you are still attending the Myai Thai classes when you are re-entering after 6 month (has it ever happened to anyone)? Also any potential differences with handling taxes (for non-Thai income)? Which of them has more chances (in general) for paying no taxes in Thai?

I am looking for soft power options in Krabi/ao nang.

I was planning on doing Discover Thai Nature, like many have suggested and the information is very interesting to me. I thought it was virtual seminars and I now realize it's in person classes in Bangkok. I do not want to live in Bangkok. I also after further research learned that there are no fully virtual class options on DTV.

Basically just looking for soft power options in Krabi if anyone has any recommendations I would really appreciate it.

I searched the group and just found one person saying they are doing Muay Thai but didn't list the gym

Thank you so much for any help

What is the easiest route for soft power DTV approval?

My preference is the cookery classes, I understand you have to book a 6 month term to be approved? Does anyone have any reliable and affordable cookery places? Preferably in Bangkok or Chinag Mai?

And will a 6 month class suffice for the entire 5 year Visa?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if you can use Jiu jitsu as a soft power option?

Also what’s re the turnaround times like for London, Uk?

And… what is needed from the remote work job I have to prove for the visa?

Sorry for all the questions! 🙈 grateful for any help or suggestions! 🙏🏽

Applying in Hanoi (soft power):

If I arrive in Hanoi on the October 26th (Sunday), can I apply on that day or would I wait until Monday to submit the paperwork?

Does it matter that my booking reservation would show that I just arrived, and that I only have the reservation for 2 weeks?

Or do they not really scrutinize that part of the application?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone succeeded with a DTV visa in Sweden, soft power 6-month cooking class?

Is there an age cut off for DTV VISA & do you have to work online/ go to school.

Hi all. New to this and learning a lot. My question is regarding the soft power DTV.  I believe if granted it covers you for five years, but you need to check in every six months to extend. Does that mean that you need to be enrolled in one of the soft power activities every time you check in?
