Greetings all! I am super excited to let you all know that my DTV was approved!

I received lots of helpful information by searching within the group so thank you!

UPDATE:

Date of Application: 12 Dec 24

Date of Approval: 16 Dec 24

Embassy: Washington, D.C.

DTV purpose/category: Thai soft power related activity

Company: Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy (highly recommend)

*For my Veterans*

I’m not sure if it helped any, IF at all, but when I submitted my bank statement, I also submitted my VA benefit letter with it. (I combined the two documents into one via Adobe)

I’m not saying you NEED to do that, as it’s not a required document to submit, but since there was no opportunity to submit additional documents, MY logic for doing that was to show them that in addition to the money in my account, I also have monthly income coming in. That way they can see I can absolutely support myself financially while in the country.

Hi group :) Regarding DTV Soft-Activities Embassy Vienna: I hope there are people here who have applied for the DTV via eVisa from Austria through the Vienna Embassy and can help me. This embassy seems to be very strict. Muay Thai courses are only accepted from 4 months (less than 4 months are rejected), no seminars are accepted that serve to get to know Thai culture (but other embassies have approved them). Can anyone recommend a reliable and inexpensive Muay Thai boxing school or a cooking course in Chon Buri that has been approved? In other districts too, if they are cheaper. I just thought that it wouldn't hurt to actually go to Thai boxing (😄) every now and then :) Thank you very much for your help :)

Hello,

For a DTV visa application, how to find a cultural activity in HUA HIN, Thailande for the application? Do you have any addresses?

I meant: Thai cooking classes, language classes, trainings, seminars, and art or music exhibitions.

I am considering a replacement of elite family visa.

Thank you

Can a credible source elaborate on soft power activities and how frequently they must be attended?

I've read Muay Thai, Cooking, Medical, Seminars, Arts and Music Festivals. Does one festival ticket count as a qualifying event? Does one doctor or dental appointment count? One seminar?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.
