Can anyone recommend a cooking school in Chiang Mai that provides official documentation for the DTV (Soft Power – Cooking) visa application?

Recommendations for cooking schools in Hua Hin or Bangkok to satisfy the soft power option for DTV. TIA

Hello, I want to apply for Dtv visa, soft power.

I chose Cooking class, and because I really want to learn thai cuisine, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a school in Phuket, Rawai or Bang Tao aereas.

Many thanks

Im currently in Thailand on a DTV visa and for the soft power skill i chose the cooking school option, specifically Arun Thai Cooking School. Im very satisfied with them. The staff are extremely kind and helpfu, the classes are well structured, enjoyable and give real insight into Thai cuisine. The school is also easy to reach by MRT, which is a big plus.

If you’re looking for a cooking school for the DTV visa or simply a good cooking school in Bangkok, i think this is a great choice.

Does anyone know of a cooking school that can used for DTV in Phuket that will teach me Thai cooking

Thanks

Hi all!

I just received an update on my application asking me for further documents:

"Since application would get 5 years-visa, please provide the letter of explanation of your plan/ project for the next 5 years in Thailand"

I'm applying from Belgium under soft power (thai cuisine).

I already wrote a cover letter explaining my plans during the 12-month course (which was merged with my bank statements- maybe they haven't seen it?). I'm a professional chef wanting to master Thai cuisine, its cultural background etc.

Seems a bit too much to say I'm going to apply for four other 12-month cooking classes...

I was planning on saying I'd like to explore all regions and thus, need more than one year to learn all regional dishes... Which is true btw.

They don't seem to be asking how I'll sustain myself..

Any thoughts?

Thank you, this group has already been very helpful!!!

I am from Bangladesh with a Bangladeshi passport ( obviously). I am looking into DTV through soft skills ( cooking schools for now). I will be applying from Bangladesh. I checked the feed but couldn’t find if anyone from Bangladesh had success in this. Any leads on this will be very helpful.
