Do you need to prove ongoing exercise every 6 months for the Muay Thai DTV visa, or is it a one-time application valid for 5 years?

If I was filing for a soft visa I surely wouldn't do it with a thai language class. Too easy for the immigration officer to start talking to you in Thailand and if he thinks you don't know 5 words a year later, that cancel stamp may come out.

I still don't see how they will keep a 5 year visa going for 2 or 3 doctors appointments. Makes no sense.

As of yet this visa isn't 180 days old. Nobody knows yet..IF approved on one hospital or dentist appointment or month Muay Thai and receive 5 years visa thats brilliant. Best visa ever

Probably if you go for extension at immigration ,

Still great value …..about 150k for 5 years? Vs 900k for elite visa

Who know if you just exit/enter Thailand every 6 months though ….probably not…..probably only for the extension

No one knows truly.. But the expectation is once issued you can come and go for 5 years.

We dont know if or how extensions will happen at 180 days, and we dont know how immigration will look at border bounces or other re-entrys. It 'should' all work out as we hope, but its not certain and a few negative news stories or the usual farangs behaving badly linked to DTV's could cause problems. It feels like theres an undercurrent vibe that this visa is 'too easy' and Thailand is not getting enough out of this class is my personal suspicion.

I think people are getting it mixed up with the Education visa.

I own a muay thai gym and as of yet we have not been asked to monitor or report immigration

It's not 100% known yet but more than likely just a once off. Also more chance of not having to if you apply before they stipulate that as a requirement.
