yes you can apply from bali but in case you are invited for an interview you will have to visit the royal thai embassy in jakarta... Just got my DTV granted today from there :)

To be honest my experience with House of Taste for a Thai cooking course has been very pleasant! the course is for 6 or 12 months and they can offer visa support service as well

Anonieme deelnemer 842 dont say this here , the're also anonymous people in this group who actually work for the immigration (no joke) they might change it bc of too many of these statements, be discrete ;-)

DTV_Begpacker so true hahaha the biggest risk is people thinking too much sometimes not too little....

Still valid 🙂 the DTV visa is granted on basis of the 6 months course and can be extended for 5 years

My advice would be to fly to a neighboring country and arrange your DTV from there (Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia,Indonesia). First of all its much more practical and cheaper to arrange your DTV from there. Currently I have applied for my DTV Thai Cooking course through House of Taste in BKK which offers a very professional service for DTV, can highly recommend! For flight confirmations you can use

but to be honest i would highly recommend partnering with house of taste with the DTV support package and they can help you with all your questions and experience to minimize the risk of rejection!

I can highly recommend House of Taste in BKK for a DTV soft skills thai cooking course, it doesnt matter where you apply for it as long as it is outside of thailand. If you are only returning to thailand for 2 months you dont need a DTV visa which is basically eligble for 5 years, just get a visa on arrival for 30 days and extend it another 30 days at the immigration office in thailand
