Can you please recommend me a cooking school in chiang mai for my dtv application please?

Hi everyone, I have been here on DTV since September and I got the visa because of a remote opportunity I had at that time. The project has ended now but I still meet the funding requirement set by DTV. Now, I need to either extend my 180 day stay or do a border run. Does anyone know if not having a remote project will cause any issue at the immigration? Both land and air travel because its likely that I will visit Cambodia

Hi, for me this is the most important thing to clarify with DTV: Imagine you complete your course (cooking, muay thai…) in the first 180 days. Is just this enough for the rest of 5 years? Or do you have to show proof every 180 days that you are enrolled in a course and actively studying?

Apart from that,

I have consulted online with Siam Legal International and they told me that the minimum course length to be DTV eligible is 6 months. So then I have asked what is the cheapest cooking course in this school ( The food school Bangkok) and this is their answer:

DTV Visa Application Process

The DTV Visa application can be done by enrolling in a Thai cooking course with more than 72 hours of study at The Food School Bangkok.

Thai Cuisine Intensive (Weekend Programme)

Course details: [members only]/

Course Duration: Every Saturday for 11 weeks, or Sundays for some weeks

Course Time: 08:30-5:30pm

Hours per day: 8 hours/day

Total hours: 88 hours

Fees:

Tuition fee: 96,800 THB

Application fee: 2,500 THB

Chef uniform (1 set): 3,250 THB

Total payment amount: 102,250 THB

So as you can see 11 weeks length doesnt match with 6 month length. I am so confused about not having any evidence.

Any answer will be much appreciated, thanks in advance 💪💪💪💪

Hi all. Has anyone had any experience bringing a pet into Thailand with the DTV visa? I have a pet transport agency helping me through the process, but I’d love to hear your firsthand experience. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Does the DTV 5 year timer start from the date of issue or date of first entry?

I want to stay in Thailand October to April what would I need to do

I have question regarding Marriage Visa Extension based on Income. I understand that to get 1 year marriage visa extension you either need to bank 400,000 THB, or have a monthly income of 40,000 THB. I work remotely for my US employer, hence do not have a Thai work permit, but I do pay personal income taxes in Thailand on my income. Is it feasible for me to get the extension based on monthly income? Or getting an extension based on income is only possible if you work for a thai company and have a work permit?

The reason I want to go with the income route is because I think having 400,000 THB in an index fund will be more beneficial for me rather than let it rot in a Thai Bank.

Hello Everyone,

I got my visa approved today.

Few questions about this.

1:- What documents should I carry with me when I travel?

2:- I am already having Valid Visit visa(Single entry), Would that be problem?

3:- i want to enter on my DTV Visa.

4:- I want to open bank account which bank should I go ? And which city.

5:- Should I carry Hotel bookings along with me?

I will be traveling with my wife , as she is having valid visit visa.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello. I am currently in Thailand 60 day tourist visa with a 30 day extension. Would possibly like to open a bank account. Possibly with Kasikornbank. Have been told by members of staff that I need work permit to open one. Am I able to obtain a Work Permit with regards to my current status. My passport is stamped until 31st March 2025. Thanks for any advice and help that is coming forward…
