Approved today in Hanoi!

I went with softpower (Muay Thai) using Wildcat Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai.

Details:

* Applied: Aug 18th

* Approved: Aug 25th

* 3 months bank account slips provided, 500k in all 3 months

* Picture of arrival stamp + selfie outside Hanoi Airport to prove being in Vietnam

* No request for additional documents. Status went from Pending Document Check -> Pending Approval -> Approved

* Ed visa canceled before I left Thailand, just to be safe

I highly recommend Wildcat Muay Thai gym - I have been training here for a long time and the owner helped me with everything, even set up the application for me and uploaded all documents, so all I had to do was log in at the end to submit and pay the fee.

So happy! Huge relief to have a 5 year visa! 🇹🇭

Hello! Just wondering did you purchase the monthly program or 10 sessions etc. How does your program look like? How did you talk to them about your future plan training at the gym? Thank you. I want to do Lanna muay thai in chiang mai but their monthly fee is 6000thb. So if it's 6 months that would be

thb. Although I am committed in training throughout the 6 months there but I'm hesitate to pay this much money in advance.

Hey mate, what did your letter from the gym look like? I’m using a different gym in Chiang mai but just want to make sure that it is all correct before applying

It was a letter saying that I had paid for a 6 months course for 12k baht, and then the gym's license as well. Some official license that was all in Thai.

if you have injuries or things you cannot do I am sure they will adjust to your capabilities. They are very nice and I’ve never had any issues or have any complaints
