If there were a little bit more clarity it will be sow nice

For example if I for sure knew that a cooking class school will qualify me

Situated in Phuket

I will join the class

I actually like cooking and it will be nice to learn some new things

But then again I’m not a cook

Hi
@Lester ********
Since I’m living in Bulgaria I am connected to the Thai embassy of Bucharest 

I have just asked them regarding:

Discover Thai nature

******************************************************************


It would be nice to know if these courses qualify me in section 5b for the DTV visa.

I have already filed documents from 1 to 4

It is only number 5 that provide me with challenges

I first tried to apply with freelancer status.

Long story short.

I have difficulties (maybe language barrier ) to get the documents needed from Bulgarian authorities that The Thai embassy in Bucharest they ask for

For this reason and also because I actually find the course interesting I told them that I am willing to apply again and pay 10,000 bath

But first I would like to know if this actually qualify me under 5 b Thai soft power

( seminars ) 

Wait answer

———-

Unfortunately it is my experience that there is big difference from Embassy to Embassy on the DTV Requirements

On a phone call I ask her what kind of cooking class school she can recommend me in Phuket that will grant me access with the Thai soft power 

Her answer back where :

Are you a cook

In which I have cost applied no

I guess it’s up to the opinion off the employee off each embassy

How they interpreted the soft power 5b option

So I can actually go to Thailand on a tourist Visa first and find a rental property and register to attend a Thai cooking class ( Bring proof of attending ) 

Number 5 is the only one giving me some Challenges.

Take a boad trip to George Town Malaysia

Apply once again to the Thai embassy in George Town and that means new eyes new interpretation off number 5 b :

Thai soft power:  Proof of confirmation to attend the activity

Activities such as



- Thai Cooking classes

Or

- Muay Thai courses

Do I understand this correct ?

I’m sorry if you think I’m wasting your time

I know the feeling I have different Bitcoin groups where I answer questions…. mostly the same week after week. 

A lot of copy paste

It’s for me to take it into consideration regarding which country I want to settle down and I need to understand before I can choose

I also pass it on to a small group of Danish people

And maybe other people also can benefit from my questions and your answer thanks
