Hello. I'm looking to understand if it's possible to get a DTV visa based on a vegan cooking course. If anyone knows of such a course. How do I know for sure that the course gives me what I need for a visa. How much minimum time is needed. And if I have to renew the course every time or is one time enough to get a 5-year visa?

Thank you 🙏

When having obtained a 12 month extension based on marriage to a Thai, With multiple entry, can I leave Thailand for 7 months (family reason) then return to Thailand say one month before the next 12 month renewal process starts again?

As a second question, is it possible to convert to a DTV whilst in Thailand from a marriage visa?

Just got my DTV application rejected by the Warsaw embassy. The reason was "

* The Thai Culinary Course, with a total duration of 6 months and only 20 hours of culinary training, does not meet the requirements for the DTV visa. The limited course frequency and intensity are insufficient to support an application*.*

What is meant by "Letter of qualification endorsement issued from the Thailand Board of investment. (Point 4 visa application) The applicant can apply for the letter .

Is this something new?

I am sorry to keep asking questions about this but I want to be sure I have the correct information. I am currently in Thailand on the Non-O marriage visa, but I need to change it to the Non-O retirement due to a mistake I made. After checking the relevant websites, visiting immigration here in Korat, and emailing with a visa agent it seems to me the easiest way to do this is to go to Cambodia and then re-enter as a tourist with my US passport.

Please bear in mind the required funds are not an issue. All other paperwork is in order.

My question is this; if I do that can I then apply for the Non-O retirement visa from WITHIN Thailand, or does that need to be done while in Cambodia? Obviously if I do that while in Cambodia I will then need to stay there for the 10 days or so it takes to get approval for the visa. Which isn’t great but it’s easier than any alternative I can see.

Thanks as always for your assistance.

There have been a lot of talks you can do 90d report online if you have done it in person once, no matter what.

Yes: if you extend your DTV for another 6months you can do online until you leave the country

No: If you do border run every 6months or less, you can never do it online

Main point is in the picture, "each country visit".

Now, let the talk stop about you can do it online whether you go outside or not 🙏

I'm on a non-o visa (3 months + 12 months) and my first 90 day report on 23 Feb. I am returning to Australia to take care of some personal business. Should I return in time for the 1st report date?
