No

@Kim ********

yes thats correct. but thats not income :)

@Aaron *****

DTV does not require income proof

@Peter *****

thats people that want to game the system. they should not even ask for advise in this group as they want to do it the illegal way.

@Payne *****

yes you are right. and i also keep studying with my DTV :)

lol yeah… just imagine wasting so much money for something that is just 3-4 file uploads on a website and 10mins of effort.

Anonymer Teilnehmer yes sure. get the DTV if you can and your documents are sufficient for it… sadly there is very little info yet on soft power activities. even here in the group. i wish there would be a more clear definition of the actual requirements as the embassies just list an „approval letter“ or something.

@George ********

it always depends… you come to a foreign country. why not learn the language and immerse yourself? its a great opportunity. also the schools are the best place to meet people. you can easily get the visa with low effort. you dont need 500k in the bank. its more reputable than the dtv. open bank account, etc.. dont get me wrong, the DTV is amazing. but the ED is always a good option for a few years. so yes its more expensive but you also get a service in return (learning).

Anonymer Teilnehmer in that particular school its 2x2 hours per week minimum. i guess officially 80% attendance rate. can do more of course and schedule is done with the teachers together whenever they have classes available. 10-12 or 13-15 usualy… can highly recommend
