Anonymous participant 956 I am not so pessimistic. They are desperate for higher visitor numbers right now. I think it might be changed though and if anything the Soft Power category. Not eliminated but just ensure the visa runs alongside the courses etc.

Looks like the suspended PM wants to boost Soft Power in her new role as Culture Secretary

What are the experiences of applying for the DTV Soft Power visa through Arun Thai Cooking School in London?

Yeah they are going to be pretty sure you are going to be accepted before they offer any guarantees lol My personal view is if you are a risk averse applicant 300-400 USD Fee to an agent is fine with the refund option. When they start asking 75K THB up there is something going on.

Some do I think. The one I saw had proviso of course that all information submitted by the applicant was truthful, accurate and up to date. Ask further questions about immigration history too.

Anonymous participant 456 That is the most likely scenario. They do not need any law changes. They can apply stricter guidelines within the current structure if they wished to. No evidence of thst right now though.

FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) Marketing. Not the most sophisticated. The DTV will not be on any politicians or parties political agenda right now. I have not heard the DTV mentioned by a politician since the PM who introduced it 11 months ago.
