ORIGINAL POSTER

Does anyone know if you can use Jiu jitsu as a soft power option? 

Also what’s re the turnaround times like for London, Uk? 

And… what is needed from the remote work job I have to prove for the visa? 

Sorry for all the questions! 🙈 grateful for any help or suggestions! 🙏🏽

TLDR : Answer Summary

This post inquires about the feasibility of using Jiu Jitsu as a soft power option for a visa in Thailand, turnaround times for visa applications in London, and the necessary documentation needed from a remote work job to qualify for the visa. Responses indicate that Jiu Jitsu is not typically recognized for visa purposes, suggesting Muay Thai instead, and provide insights on the importance of having all required documents ready to avoid delays.

You need everything ready otherwise there will be delays ... google "dtv softpower checklist" and once you have what they clearly ask upload it, if all correct, took 36 hours for me

Just find a place where they do both and you just do jiu jitsu. That’s what I’m going to do
