Can you apply for a DTV visa for Muay Thai with an unregistered gym confirmation letter from London?

Has anyone applied for a DTV visa Muay Thai from London or another embassy that has not been registered by the thai authorities but has a letter from the gym confirming that’s where they’re attending?

Some embassy not require certificate but Cambodia does for sure as my friend needed the certificate from sports and tourism of Thailand and was asked for this by the additional documents

The part that scares me about this is, once you say you train at a gym, and that gym isn't registered, now the government knows they are not. I don't want to get anyone in trouble.

We have done ( I own a MT gym in chiang mai) about 20 from London. It's definitely not an embassy that asks too many questions. It's possible they may not ask for gym certification but can't guarantee it.

ok and what kind of documents do you give? Is it just a letter from the gym saying that it’s where they’re attending for 6months+?

I don’t think this is possible if the gym has not been registered but I’ll let someone with more knowledge than me answer the question
