The embassy now requires the Soft Power center to send a confirmation letter directly to the embassy’s email.

So, if you’re applying for a visa through an agent, make sure you also contact the Muay Thai or cooking school directly to ensure the email is sent.

We believe this is a measure by the embassy to combat photoshopped documents created by some agents who exploit the DTV visa process.

We also expect that the embassy will increasingly require supporting documents to be sent directly to the embassy email from the relevant 3rd party email.
