Hi everyone, I would like to ask for some advice regarding my visa application.

My application was recently cancelled by the Thai Consulate, and I was told that my cooking course (10 half-day sessions) does not meet the requirement for a long-term visa.

However, I noticed that some people mentioned they successfully applied with a 6-month cooking course.

May I ask:

- Did anyone here apply successfully with a course that has around 10 topics or limited contact hours?

- How many total hours per week or month did your course include?

- Did your school provide any special documents to support the visa?

I am now considering whether to change my course or apply for a different visa type.

Any advice or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hi, i have a DTV visa. No one told me about the 90 day reporting. It defeats the purpose of the DTV visa entirely, which I got so that I don't need a new visa stamp every 90 days. Who of you lives in the countryside? How do u manage? Is the best practice 90 day > report > 6month extension >on month9 report again> month 12 visa run?

Hi there. I'm asking for advice for a friend,as he's not online very often,etc. 'I went to open a Bank Account today and they won’t let me unless I have a “Long Term X-O Visa. It now seems I can’t apply for it unless I am physically in the U.K. ?

Is this correct? He's currently in Nong Kae with his Thai partner and son. They're not married yet. But I'm asking on his behalf as he's got no idea what he needs to do next. Thank you. 🙏
