ORIGINAL POSTER

I just got approved for DTV from Los Angeles and I wanted to share my experience. 

Applied February 4th and got approved February 14th. 

Applied under soft power and pre-paid muay thai classes for 9 months. This school had many branches and it was close to my condo. 9 months was the only length they had. 

Provided only 1 month of bank statement. Drivers license for proof of residence in the US. Flight number but no proof of flight purchased required. Condo address in Bangkok but didn't have to show proof of a lease. 

It was fairly easy. They didn't ask for any more info. Just be careful with the birthday. It kept changing on its own by one day or one year. Make sure you look at your birthday carefully on the last page before you submit. Also, I have a hyphen in my middle name and I thought I forgot to put it in the application. Make sure your name looks identical to your passport.

A great result. Now I've just gotta research what soft power is. I want to study buddhist philosophy in Thailand. I've already been practising at a temple as a nun for 6 weeks however I'm heading to Chiang mai to for a month to investigate courses. Thank you for sharing
