hello , is it possible to do DTV visa soft power with a sport training being something else than thai boxing, like freediving or any other sport? Do I just need a letter from any legit sports school to confirm my training or is it only for specific DTV approved sports school?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can apply for a DTV visa with sports training in areas other than Thai boxing, such as freediving or other sports. However, you need to obtain a letter from a registered sports school. The legitimacy of the school as a registered business is crucial. While some users noted that you can initially sign up for training without consistent attendance, having a recognized sports school is important for visa approval.

Interested in this as well. What about sports such as badminton, tennis, swimming, etc? Many of these academies don’t cater as much to foreigners as muay thai gyms, but they’re just as legit.

Insider secret - you can sign up for 6 months and never have to do it after that. You can also do free diving and Muay Thai at the same time, well not exactly at the same time, but maybe each on the same day or alternating days.

That is true , i wouldn’t mind training muai thai 2 times a week but i am not so young anymore , I am just too tired after a freedive training and needs a rest day after 2-3 days training☺️ But weather is not always good enough for freedive and muai thai training would do good cross training
