Thai language is not soft skills. It normally falls under ED visa.

So what under what category are you applying for DTV?

I showed that I already had a bank account in Thailand, and they did require me to interview about it. But since it was all above board, taxes paid, it was ok.

No, you’d need an education visa for that

Not only didn’t I give my flight details but I didn’t even have a flight booked.

just an honest one.

It took me 3 days , and the interview took me by surprise. My guess is they are trying to find out who is genuine and not. I came from a work permit to tourist visa to DTV, so they seemed to want to confirm many things to make sure I wasn’t cheating the system or planning to work illegally.

It’s true, but some embassies may push back and say that a 6month tourist visa is sufficient.

If in doubt take a longer course.
