Just got my DTV in Ho Chi Minh city! Landed on the 15th May, sent in my application via Issa Compass ([members only]/) and it was approved on the 26th May. They're a great visa agent that doesn't charge too much, and they also offer a refund if your application is unsuccessful!

I applied via Thai soft power with Arun Thai Cooking school for a 12 month program which offers a variety of different programs depending on your need. The entire process was really smooth and they were responsive and answered all the questions I had.

Highly recommend!

Hi :)

I plan to apply from France (soft power "thai cooking school"), and I'm surprised to see that the following is required :

"Proof of salary slip/monthly income for the last 6 months"

I found this information on the following website :

This doesn't appear on the official website ([members only])

Did anyone experience this request when applying from France or another country ?

Thank you for your help 🙏

How much did you pay for your Softpower (Not Visa) Course ?

Can anyone link any vegan cooking classes/courses they signed up for which got their DTV accepted please? Struggling to find 6 month courses (do they need to be 6months?)

Hello,

Been seeing a lot of approvals of the DTV on soft power for Muay Thai. Does anyone know of a Thai Cooking school that has accreditation for the DTV and/or has already students approved on the DTV visa? I'm not interested in muay thai.
