Hello

I just moved to Bangkok and became a freelancer. I also love muay thai and would like to train during my stay here. So basically I would be elegible to DTV remote worker and DTV Muay Thai.

I have been told that getting DTV muay thai would be easier in my situation. But is it ok for me to get DTV Muay Thai while working as a freelance?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Answer summary
The user is a new freelancer in Bangkok looking to train in Muay Thai and wants to know if they can apply for the DTV Muay Thai visa while working remotely. Comments suggest that many people on the DTV Muay Thai visa also work remotely, but applying as a freelancer may complicate the application process. Choosing the DTV Muay Thai option means committing to a gym and potentially higher costs, while a freelancer visa might offer more flexibility in choosing training locations.

If you apply as a freelancer then the application itself would be far more complicated but u got the advantage that it'd cost you nothing besides of the visa fee. If you apply for muay thai then you have to put in mind that those gyms who offer the dtv documents tend to be way more expensive than those that don't. Nowadays you need to get a 6months course which isn't any cheap and you'll be tied up with that gym for all the time. If you already had your visa through work, you'd have the flexibility of getting to whatever gym u like, as long as u want and u could get better deals/prices. At this point it's your call ;)

Sure - a very high % of people on soft power DTV, such as Muay Thai, also work remotely. You can do it the other way around too - get Workation DTV and train 🙂 Enjoy
