Hello to all. Has anyone applied for DTV in Manila. If so pros and cons. Thank u in advance

Im currently speaking to Arun Thai Cooking about using their course to apply for DTV soft power. It looks like a reputable school and I’ve found lots of posts in this group from people who have applied with them. In talking to their visa service, they recommend applying in the Philippines but I can’t find any posts from people who have applied from there, including people applying with Arun. Anyone have experience with the embassy there? Or any idea why they’re pushing Philippines?

Hey everyone,

Just got approved in Manila. Took 8 business days (total of 2 weeks because 2 weekdays were a thai holiday (thurs, fri last week).

Applied under Soft Power Muay Thai (9 months of classes).

Sent in all the necessary documents.

They asked for 2 additional documents:

1. The actual receipt of payment of Muay Thai classes

2. My business registration of my LLC

Status went into pending approval yesterday, approved today.

The application process is very straightforward:

1. Look on the embassy website for all the documents they require.

2. Provide them in visa application

3. Monitor your visa application in the event that you are asked for additional documents

4. Provide additional documents

5. Wait for approval

6. Enjoy Thailand :)

It's all spelled out on the embassy website.

Has anyone applied for the DTV from Manila, Philippines with a US passport and can share their experience?

I know although requirements are generally the same, the actual process and approval feedback differs between embassies. Thanks.
