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

The conversation revolves around the possibility of using Jiu Jitsu as a soft power option for visas in Thailand, with responses indicating that Muay Thai is typically the focus. It also discusses the turnaround time for visa applications from London, suggesting it can take around 36 hours if all documents are correctly prepared. Participants suggest doing thorough preparatory work and provide alternative resources for locating training venues.

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
