Advice please regarding dvt application.  Ive enrolled in 6 months muay thia course starting may 1st..question on application asks how long you plan to stay in thialand?  .I may have to leave thialand for a few weeks work and carry on with the course when I return. Are they expecting you to stay the first 6 months without leaving or am I overthinking the process. Any advice will be appreciated thankyou.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The applicant seeks advice on how to fill out their DVT application regarding the planned stay in Thailand. They are uncertain if they need to commit to staying the entire six months of their Muay Thai course without leaving the country, especially since they might have to leave temporarily for work. Responses suggest that the duration given can be flexible, and the maximum stay on one stamp is 180 days, which should be stated.

Put in however long you want that's under 180 days (as that's the maximum you can stay on one stamp before extension).

You're overthinking. All these questions are proposed, planned, or intended, nothing is written in stone. Put 180 days
