With all the concerns about immigration requesting an additional Muay Thai course on extension ( after 6 months) 

I'm ( I own a muay thai gym) considering doing this (2nd document pack) for our customers for free ( well maybe an admin charge of 2 or 3k)  if for some reason they didn't complete the 6 month course of 26 classes in the first 6 months. 

Would this or something similar give applicants the confidence to go down the soft power route without fear of being stung for a second course?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the idea of providing an additional Muay Thai course for applicants seeking visa extensions in Thailand. The gym owner considers offering this support for free or with a nominal fee to help clients feel more confident about navigating the immigration process. Comments suggest seeking clarification from immigration offices for guidance, with mixed feelings about potential implications for visa application legitimacy. Overall, the proposal is viewed positively as it can ease anxiety related to visa extensions while promoting the gym's services.

When you say extension after 6 months, you mean within the country at immigration? You can just pop out and come right back for another 6 months right? What you're talking about is just so your clients don't have to leave I think? Thanks 🙏

If I was you, I would not be asking this question. Essentially it would be aiding in a fraudulent application to offer this.

You would however have a database of customers that you could easily email in the future for assistance without it really being public. 🤪

Just saying.

no way am going to do anything dodgy mate. I'm just considering a good way of keeping the customer from feeling cheated by moving goal posts. I might consider buy 1 get 1 free fir example. I definitely have not or will not be involved in any sharp practice
