Can I get a clear answer from those who applied from USA or Vietnam?

If applying through language school or muay yhai, were you asked to show monthly income despite having the savings?

Hello! I will be making the move to Bangkok from the U.S. soon with my daughter. My question is can I come over on the education visa and then switch to the dtv visa? I know I have to apply outside the country for that one. Which country is best to do that from?

Hi all, Has anyone got experience with ILS Language school in Chiang Mai ? I have been moving between Thailand and Vietnam for the last two years but was toying with the idea of applying for a DVT and taking part in an online language course with ILS. Iv been told, and read online, that Thai language courses are not acceptable when applying for the DTV, is this true ? TIA

Good afternoon everyone. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good Thai language school in Hua Hin that I can use for the DTV application or cooking school. I have only found the Muay Thai gym and while that is awesome I prefer to learn the language or how to cook Thai food.

Does anyone know if a language course will meet DTV2 requirements? I have read conflicting reports that some embassies accept and others do not. Also does anyone have any knowledge on DTV2 approved cooking courses. It seems quite that Muay Thai and cooking is accepted as a qualification but not learning Thai language.
