Can I obtain a DTV visa by taking a Thai cooking course?

Greg ********

Anonymous participant You would probably need to use an agent or one associated with a school for that - they then check all your documents and application.

Can I obtain a DTV visa by taking a Thai cooking course?

Greg ********

I think the owner of this school posts in here. I love Bangkok and lived/worked there for years and spent a lot of time there on business outside of working there. However, for pace and quality of life, Chiang Mai is much better and costs way lower.

How can I successfully apply for a 180-day extension on a DTV visa in Chiang Mai?

Greg ********

Anonymous participant You can do a one day border run in a nice car - 2500 for the car and your Laos visa costs etc. I think you get back Chiang Mai late afternoon. Probably quicker than an extension if you need a few trips to the airport office.

There have been a couple of reports in this group - have a search. One was quite recent and ended up needing a border run. It is the airport office that deals with DTV Extensions and it seems they have one officer for this.

Anonymous participant 877 The banking changes and the DTV are not linked except that the DTV is caught up in it as are other visa types. If the DTV did not exist what is happening with banking would still be happening.
