Anonymous participant 272 Don’t “!” me boy, I can hear you fine over here 555

I really don’t care to argue with you. However, since you wish to play a contrarian game… (I won’t reply to your next reply)

It’s a 5-year multi entry visa. It has application requirements. Once you apply you’re awarded a 5-year multi-entry visa. You don’t keep re-applying, ie, no 10,000thb fee, no showing bank accounts again, or showing you registered for another cooking class. You don’t have to show your bank account in the immigration line at Suvarnabhumi คุณเข้าใจไหม

1. i ask you to provide where it says you must continuously renew the application requirements for a 5-year multi-entry visa. I don’t believe that exists in writing, as been stated by many. Two different departments issue the visas and check them at immigration. So that simply is ill logic or incorrect conjecture.

2. I gave them the school info, they can call them and see what’s available themselves. Yes it’s a language/culture class but not sure where you gather the knowledge that “a Thai language program normally not qualifies for DTV,” but tbh I didn’t come here to argue with you. I told OP the FACTS that I know.

You don’t need to enroll again in classes. Only for the 6 months to satisfy the visa application. If someone told you otherwise they’re wrong. You’ll be good for 5 years as the program is currently worded.

Pro Language school charges 27,000 for the DTV paperwork and classes. I’d press for 1:1 lessons online, so you can travel easy. Their standard package was for group classes however. That’s what I did and they worked out an equivalent pricing though I feel it was too expensive for the hours given. There are definitely cheaper schools to go through however I liked my teacher already and actually want to continue learning Thai. They’re in several cities in TH, it’s a global company.
