A year ago I applied for the dtv soft power (cooking) whilst living in Singapore on a DP. They were so difficult and kept asking for documents - 6 mo bank statements, payslips, employment letter and a letter of consent from my employer to attend the cooking classes. I eventually gave up and went to apply in vietnam instead. Same documents, approved in a week.
