@Mark *******

Thai cooking isn't useful to me at all vs the language which I now deem very useful, anyhow just throwing it out there

@Janelle ****

this fricking group guys lol. No unlike you guys some people aren't following the myriad of twists and turns on the whole DTV thing. Cooking and must Thai qualifies but not learning Thai? You can get Ed visas for Muay Thai too but it seemed this visa was maybe to simplify these kinds of "leisure learning" Activities from more serious education at universities and such. Yeesh

Wow this is Thai visas for you

No not necessarily. He isn't growing food. What he is talking about is more biotech. Look up the SMART visa and see if this can fall under the "targeted industries". I also run the Thailand SMART visa community

@Graham *****

no I have several of these from laos and they acted hurt and insulted when I just turned right back around and had it cancelled. No idea what a visa run was. No we don't genuinely want to visit, we're forced to do this

Yup. Dog shit visa run experience honestly. And for visa runs they still insist on full blown visa and waste a whole page on it

Go to immigration straight away

I've created a group called Thailand SMART visa community just so smart visa holders can network with each other on opportunities to collaborate. Unfortunately can't help you on this one, you have more to share on the inability to switch. The office as you know is pretty new and are figuring this out as they go along

the vast majority of using education visas to uhhh build t heir businesses and then relaxing relatively on smart visas and even studying Thai because they actually want to says a lot about what the education visa does right that the govt can learn from
