yeah totally understand and also understand why they would turn around and say get an ED visa. It's funny because the wording is "activities such as" without length of time. Of course I am not going to book courses 5 years in advance, but as an example, if I was to pay 1+ year and a letter of confirmation and dates from the course provider that clearly show every other month. As we know its all a new concept so will see how it works out first before/if I apply.
I totally agree on the ED visa...but as an example, my scenario, an ED visa is not viable because my work allows for month on/month off. So coming to and from Thailand every other month on an ED visa would not work. DTV would be ideal for this.
Hi Frank. Where did you see language? I have seen wording of "activities such as" and lists sports, cooking, medical appointments etc...and I also assumed languages. This appeals to me because I book 3-4 week long courses on visa exempt visits, but can now hopefully book courses months at a time.
