TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a visa through a Muay Thai program, attendance at classes is not strictly enforced by immigration authorities. While the Muay Thai camps encourage students to attend regularly and maintain training, they are flexible about attendance and do not report or monitor it actively. However, some camps might require attendance for other activities, such as pre-fight training sessions before finalizing visa paperwork.

You dont have to attend the classes but sometimes they make you fight IO before they stamp you in.

Its because if people that dont show up they change the rules to be more strict and strict. People who try to apply but dont want to go.

We sell courses in good faith and expect the student to turn up at some point. We allow for full flexibility and the classes can be taken at any time with no expiry date. But we are not asked to report or monitor attendance so if the student doesn't turn up we leave the classes on file and take the position that the course has been paid for, we are prepared to begin the course whenever the student is ready.
