Hello all, my girlfriend who is from Indonesia is planning on applying for the DTV (using soft power for cooking classes) in Jakarta and she is not employed. I support her and pay for everything for us but am wondering if that will be a problem in getting approved if she is unemployed? I do plan on making the deposit of $15,000 into her account (and plan to be added/named on her account as well) and also wonder if we should wait three months before applying or if she could get approved with just one or two months of statements.

Is there a list of all the programs/schools to get the DTV? 🙏

Soft Power qualifying

Does anyone know which sports training qualify for the soft power. DTV application, apart from Muay Thai?

Hi :), does anyone know where I can find a list of activities that are considered soft power?

TIA 🙏

Hello. Do we have to justify every 6 months a digital activity, Thai lessons, cooking lessons, to be in order with immigration and not risk expulsion and being blacklisted? Thank you

How much did you guys pay for the soft activity program, muay thai, cooking class etc.. and what was the duration. Thank you

Dear All,

Anyone recommended cooking class in CNX which is eligible for DTV visa ?

Thx

Hi, Do websites exist that provide information on Muay Thai classes and cooking classes that are Dtv Friendly, including options and associated costs? Kinda like a Dtv approval search engine ?

Just a question... Is any type of dtv (digital nomad, muay Thai, cooking classes, etc) valid for 5 years renewing every 180 days?

Hi. I have been a member of the group for a while and have benefited from the advice of Brandon Et al. I’m from the uk and have been travelling to Thailand for many years, spending up to 6 months per year there. I have used visa-free and tourist visas for this but this time have a non-o 90 day visa based on retirement to arrive in December. My plan was possibly to extend this for one year based on 800k in the bank. But the exchange rate is not great at the moment and I am reluctant to place money in a “ dead” account permanently. So now for the question. I read about the DTV visa (5 years multi-entry). I am retired (62) but didn’t think I would qualify as no desire to work. What I read is that you can get this based on cookery classes (even just a couple of weeks from a registered school?). I enjoy Thai cooking and would like to learn more so would not be an issue. This sounds too good to be true (10k baht for the visa plus the cost of the class). Am I missing something here or is this a viable option? TIA for constructive replies.
