Unfortunately, our cooking school is based in Chiang Mai, not Khao Lak. But if you ever plan a trip up north, we’d be happy to welcome you to our classes. Wishing you the best of luck in finding a great program that fits your plans 🙏😊
For your situation, both freelance/professional and business owner DTV categories are possible. For future LTR/PR, the business owner route usually looks stronger as it shows economic contribution. Given the uncertain situation at the Thailand–Cambodia border, it’s generally safer to apply from Vietnam or Laos. Make sure all business and tax documents are complete.
Just to share from my experience: our cooking school is in Chiang Mai, and we’ve helped students with the DTV visa process. One of our students from the UK applied at the Thai Embassy in the UK and got approved. The whole process took about 2 weeks.
Hopefully this gives a bit of insight for anyone planning to apply. Happy to answer factual questions about the process!
