TLDR : Answer Summary

Not all Muay Thai gyms can issue DTV invitations; they must be certified and registered with the relevant government authority, typically the Ministry of Sports. Gyms like Fight EVO360 in Pattaya provide the necessary documentation, including a signed invitation letter and proof of registration. The minimum training duration for a DTV application is generally six months, with various training frequency options available. It's essential to choose a recognized gym to avoid complications during the visa application process.

Not necessarily. It depends on the issuing bank. If you're in the country where the bank is located, you can get it stamped. Otherwise, no need.

Yes but don't apply in Laos otherwise those funds need to sit there for 3 months.

If you want to apply now, do an e-visa in Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi or an in person applications in Taipei or Jakarta.

However, for Laos (I'd advise against applying there but it's OK as long as you meet their more onerous requirements) a notary stamp would be useful.
