I would say keep it on the bank account. Just a belly feeling

I would take the DTV now and when they start cracking down the DTV Visa abuse, then jump on ED

They want to channel us with the DTV in order to be able to control us better. Also I believe everything will likely be related to the coming global economic situation, and especially to the economic situation in China. Whatever happens, the Chinese will probably not be able to travel as much as before in the future, so perhaps we should compensate for this in some minimal way

What is a culinary Visa ? Do you mean DTV Softpower with Thai cooking course ?

I used PDF24 creator, which is free. There are also other PDF related tools included. For example if the combined big PDF file is too big to upload then you can compress it. That was necessary in my case

If I don't want to pay for the certificate of residence in Chiang Mai, do you know how long I have to wait for it ?

If they are still small, it might make sense to send them to a normal public school for one or two years, after which they will be able to speak Thai perfectly, which is not the case with children at international schools.

It's possible in Chiang Mai. At least the extension is possible. I checked that before applying for the DTV visa. But to apply for a driving licence or for an extension you need a certificate of residence and for that you need to have a valid tm30 slip in your passport
