Hello everyone,

I have submitted my application to the Thai embassy in Paris for the DTV soft power option (cooking class of 6 months than can be rescheduled over a year time). I am French.

They have asked for an explanation letter of what I plan to do outside of my cooking classes, as it is not full time.

I used to work in Thailand under BOI work permit for 4years on a stressful job. Now with the DTV, I plan to take some time to actually enjoy Thailand with the cooking course and some 'normal' tourism like scuba diving or hiking in the North. Also I expect to go back to France regularly to see my family because you have to go out every 180 days.

Any advice on how to phrase the explanation better?

Many thanks!

Any one applied for dtv in the netherlands for a cookingclass or muay thai ??

Hi, I'm planning to apply for a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) to enroll in a Thai culinary class. For the required funds, would it be acceptable if my boyfriend transfers a lump sum to my account? He's willing to provide a letter confirming that he gifted the funds to support my DTV application and culinary studies. Would this meet the requirements? Thank you
