Anonymous participant 497 I think you just don't get it... The more abuses, the stricter things are becoming for everyone. Some visas got canceled after multiple abuses. Is that what you want? You would rather have it difficult so that serious people may have a great visa guaranteed instead of having to deal with rules and tea money. Check what's happening on other visas instead of focusing only on DTV.
I wish more profiles like yours would come with the DTV, but as you know, many are exploiting the system to get a cheap visa. The DTV is still far too easy to obtain. The day real requirements such as a minimum income are implemented, people may start seeing this visa differently. In your case, you may want it to get stricter.
Exactly. I wish they had avoided the Soft Power approach and instead set a minimum income requirement to filter applicants. I'm okay with the ones on ongoing activities but how many are doing cooking classes for 5 years seriously?
