DTV application question: I plan to do it in Indonesia (Bali or Jakarta, not sure if it matters), is it risky if I apply myself or should I do it through an agency? How long does it take to process the visa from Indonesia? Whats the success rate if I apply under Muay Thai vs Cooking class (preferred for me, i actually love cooking)?

If I go with an agency, which ones are reliable and has a decent price? I talked to an agency and their price is more than other ones and they said I can only go do it in Vietnam (don't prefer to go bc it traumatized me a little in the past) and only apply for Muay thai bc they have a partnership and that cooking classes won't get approved. I feel like they just want me to do this so their partner gets my money for muay thai (my partner wants to do muay thai but I don't bc i am unable to do it physically due to health reasons and I've done it in the past when I was able to).

Also if I opt for a cooking class like do I have to look for a place that would agree that I would use them for a DTV visa? Whats the success rate for this? I'm actually serious about cooking though, how come muay thai always gets approved and cooking classes don't have the same success rate?

Let me know if you have successfully applied from Indonesia with a cooking class or muay thai option or any good agencies (not willing to spend a lot for this since I can technically do it myself).

Thanks

Hi, I hold an Australian passport and am in Thailand now. Planning to apply for the MT DTV in December.

- Any recommendations re cities/countries to apply from, in terms of visa success rate, length of process and price?

- Re occupation, is it easier to write unemployed’ so that they won’t ask further evidence re income?

I've read that a spouse visa for uk is around £1900 for my thai wife and can take between 14-18 months, if they visa is unsuccessful do I lose the £1900 and have to pay again when applying next time. Is this information correct and does it take that amount of time any help and information would be appreciated. Also is it better using agents solicitors or doing yourself.

Online application vs. embassy: Why one or the other? Pros/cons? 🙏🏽❤️

Hi everyone! Any fellow Canadians here who have applied for the DTV? I'd love to know if you applied through the Ottawa or Vancouver embassy and what your experience was like. I'm especially curious about the success rate before I submit my application. Thanks in advance 😃

What’s the success rate of holiday visa for Thai partner to Uk ?

My fiancé is pregnant I would like her view Uk and see if she be ok to adapt to lifestyle change in the future . She has two children already at school so these would stay with her sister and continue education- hence giving my partner also has reason to return to Thailand .

I’m not of any pension age so me to Thailand is out of question this moment in time .

Maybe in future we as a 4 may attempt Uk and children tutor taught English .
