Hey everyone,

I'd like to know if I get a soft power DTV Muay Thai visa... Do you initially have to stay the 6 months or can you come and go as much as you like through out the 5 years granted,while returning to your own country each time?

Also, can any Muay thai gym sign you on or are there specific gyms that only have the ability to have DTV acceptance.

Thanks 🙏

Answer summary

The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) for Muay Thai allows for flexibility in travel, meaning you can come and go as you please throughout the five years of your visa, without the requirement to return to your home country. However, it is necessary to train at a gym that has received specific DTV approval from the Thai authorities; not all gyms may have this status.

You come and go as you please. You don't have to return to your home country. You should use a gym with a reputable DTV approval record. The gym needs to be registered by a couple of authorities for DTV approval.

thanks for your answer... The plan is to come back home each time in between doing a few weeks training at a time. Not sure if it's better to just come on the TDAC for just a few weeks here and there or whether to apply for a DTV 🤔

Anonymous participant The DTV will allow you to stay and go as you please for 5 years. The inbuilt multi entry is a major benefit. Coming visa exempt a few times a year with a return home should be ok, Another option is the METV -a 6 month multi entry visa but you can get around 8 months out of it and is easier to get than the DTV. Gyms like Muay Thai Fever in Chiang Mai or Tiger Eye in Bangkok are reputable and help with your application
