Hello there , ☀️

I am planning to go to Bangkok for 2 weeks and afterwards to Phuket.

Does anyone know a place in Bangkok (Muay Thai) where I can request for the DTV visa only for a few classes or 1 month so I can go on to another island.

And also the question is do I need to apply for Bangkok or could I also apply for Phuket and can first enter in Bangkok ?

Thank you in advance guys 💃
Answer summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Training Visa) requires a minimum 6-month commitment to a training program, so options for a short-term class of one month are not feasible. Additionally, application for this visa must be done from outside Thailand, typically at an embassy, and cannot be completed while in the country. If you want to train in Bangkok and then go to Phuket, it's recommended to find a gym chain that allows transfer of credits between locations.

First of all, you need to apply from outside Thailand; you cannot be in the country during the application process. Also, forget about obtaining a 5-year DTV with just a 1-month subscription; you’ll need at least 6 months.

You are approved on the basis of the credentials of the first school you buy classes from. 6-months is the minimum program. That program will consist of a certain number of classes which you will have 6 months to take. So, you can certainly train in BKK for a month, go to Phuket for a bit, but unless you can find a school with multiple locations where you can use the classes, you will have to return to BKK to continue your 6-month program.

It’s not up to the shop but the embassy you apply at. Try to find a gym that has multiple locations that you can use your credit between.

And you have to apply outside of Thailand and wait until it’s issued. Vietnam and Indonesia are popular places to apply from

You won’t get accepted for a W week or 1 month course. You need to book a 6 month course and it’s up to you if you want to take the loss on the training or not

You cannot apply for the DTV in Thailand. It has to be done through an embassy
