@Richard ********

thank you.. for Non O application, do I need the medical certificate?

@Nigel *************

no , I had just come across the post that said the applicant went to Chiang Rai Imm and Mae sai too , but was told that Non O couldn't be applied there . That's the reason why I posted this to enquire .

How much is course ? Another applicant enquired about similar course and was told by Consulate that the culinary school must be registered with the government... Not just any old school . And , duration of course was unimportant so long as the receipt indicated that you are accepted for the course and that you have paid up. HCMC Vietnam was the consulate who replied the applicant.

@Katy ******

I read your note about Vientiane Consulate’s reply, that no requirement on duration of course, just that it must be of a Thai culinary course. Am I right??

@Katy ******

thank you 🙏

Following…

Watched the video, but wished the Soft power option was elaborated further, like, what will be deemed acceptable and what will not . How many months minimum of enrollment into one of those soft power options to get the approval

I understand from a Singapore citizen who checked with the Royal Thai embassy in Singapore and was told it wasn't available then . That was like 2 months ago.

One participant got his DTV approved , using a Dental treatment from a Thai dental clinic. This participant said that , the appointments were for one dental work listed , and also added two other treatments further down the timeline for good measure. Uncertain which city he applied in , but not all Thai embassy would approve it . So like all those earlier comments, go check with the embassy which you will be applying from

Don't come
