ORIGINAL POSTERBefore giving you the key points on obtaining my DTV Muay Thai visa, I would like to thank this wonderful community for providing us with all the necessary information.
Key points:
I applied for my visa in Hanoi
I found a Muay Thai club in Koh Samui
I had part of the 500,000 baht in cryptocurrency, and it wasn't a problem (contrary to what I had read on this group, in HCMC)
I provided my bank statements (for the last 3 months) in French
I received it in a week (from Monday evening to the following Monday afternoon)
I then had it printed in A5 format and laminated, I presented it at the airport, and my passport was stamped for 180 days
There you go! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions 😉

So when they say you have to leave Thailand to apply for this visa is that the case or not the case when you go through a Thai gym?

Is the soft visa 5 years like the regular dtv visa ?? Do you have to do thai activity all 5 years or just the first year for the soft visa?
Sébastien *********
ORIGINAL POSTER@Steven ********
Yes, it is valid for 5 years. To obtain it, I must prove that I will practice Muay Thai for 6 months. After these 6 months... I don't know.Reply to
