What an embassy-ready letter from TSL Chiang Mai Thai Language School should include
- TSL Chiang Mai Thai Language School official letterhead, dated, with a working phone number and email.
- Full name exactly as it appears in the passport.
- Program name with a clear schedule (start, end, weekly hours).

Frequently asked questions
Is TSL Chiang Mai Thai Language School officially DTV-approved?
No provider in Thailand is officially "DTV-approved." There is no government list. TSL Chiang Mai Thai Language School is included because it is a well-known soft-power provider commonly used by DTV applicants — embassies still review each file on its own merits.
Will an enrolment letter alone get me the DTV?
No. The enrolment letter is one piece. You still need ~500,000 THB equivalent in funds, a clean immigration history, and a coherent story for staying in Thailand.
Can I apply for the DTV from inside Thailand?
No. The DTV must be applied for at a Thai embassy or consulate outside Thailand — usually in your country of residence, or a third country where you can prove residency.
How do I know the enrolment letter from TSL Chiang Mai Thai Language School is strong enough?
Run it through the DTVCheck free document review. We compare letters against the patterns we see in approved and rejected DTV files and flag the exact lines an embassy officer is likely to question.
