Looking for advice on international schools for twins aged 14 and a 12 year old. Any recommendations?🩷

Does anyone know of a cooking school that provides all the DTV visa approvals and is located in Pattaya? I would appreciate recommendations.

Thai cooking schools normally offer 6 to 12-month courses. On their pages, they always recommend 12-month courses for higher credibility in visa application.

Shall I opt for 6 or 12 months? With 6 months I could fail the visa application?

I’m hoping to spend 7 months in Thailand and currently trying to get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from Canada right now but they have asked for a detailed account of what I am going to be doing during my stay. So I have asked the KPT Language school if I can pay for a 4 month course ‘Thai for Beginners’ in advance, from Canada. I was going to enrol regardless but I had wanted to do it in Thailand - but that’s fine. My question is: I was relying on applying for a 30 day extension and doing a land border bounce through an agent - after reading many posts, I am worried now. Do you think I will have issues?

Hello everyone, I need your help. I am looking for a cooking school in Pattaya to do my DTV. THANK YOU 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hi Everyone,

My fiancé (American) and I (Filipina) are planning to apply for the DTV Soft Power visa and are hoping to base ourselves in Chiang Mai. We’re currently looking for reputable agencies or schools that offer eligible courses for enrollment.

If you’ve had a good experience with any, we’d be so grateful for your recommendations. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions — thank you in advance!

Hello, I am seeking expert advice on relocating my family to Thailand in June 2026. My children will be 17, 14, and 13 years old, and I am unsure about the specific visa requirements. Chat GPT suggested that the DTV would be the most suitable option for us. I plan to homeschool my children initially and later explore other educational options. As a remote federal employee, I anticipate continuing in my role abroad, but I am also exploring alternative employment opportunities. I am currently pursuing TEFL and Cybersecurity certifications. Although I do not have substantial savings, I expect to receive $100,000 to $150,000 from the sale of my house and additional funds from selling our belongings. However, I am concerned about meeting the income and asset requirements, particularly if the necessary funds are not available in my account at the time of application. I wont be able to sell my house till around March when it is closer to the time we leave. The price for a monthly rental here in PA will run us at least $5000 which is a lot so if i can stay here as long as possible I will. Can someone explain the financial guidelines to me? Will my current job count as income or my house as assets? Can anyone recommend a professional in Pennsylvania who can assist me with the visa application process? Hopefully I am making sense. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a recognized cooking school in Phuket for my visa. Can anyone recommend one, or a kickboxing school? Thank you for your help.

I was wondering if anyone knows can kids go to school (international school) if they join me on a DTV?

Hey all ! Currently in the states. I’m a Veteran and receive monthly VA benefits. I have the required 500,000 Baht. I’m considering the freelance or soft power DTV. Any insight from other Vets
