TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about their DTV visa potentially being canceled by their gym in Chiang Mai if they do not pay for a one-year membership while visiting their home country. Commenters clarify that gyms do not have the authority to cancel DTV visas, and after completing the initial training, individuals can choose to train at different gyms without affecting their visa status. The consensus is that the gym's claim may have been misleading or a miscommunication.

We own a gym in Bangkok. We have helped hundreds of people with their dtvs. We don't have the power to cancel anyone's visa. And if we tried the effort and potential drama that would ensue would be self destructive. If the gym actually said this and it wasn't a miscommunication, it was an empty threat

As a gym we have no power to cancel a DTV. I am surprised a gym in CM said this to you? Are you sure it wasn't a miscommunication?

No they can't cancel your visa. After you have completed your initial application training you are free to sign up anywhere you want if you wish.

So you wanted to live 6 years in Thailand to learn Muay Thai and you found a school for the first 6 motnhs, they provided all the documents to you can apply for this DTV.

Now you have the DTV you do not want to train and live in Thailand anymore?

If you have the visa already, the gym can't cancel your visa. You don't need ongoing classes for 5 years.
