How much does the class cost for the five-year DTV visa and is attendance mandatory?

@Sean ******

Do you still think the paper you show them is there only source of information?

@Sean ******

so yes, it tells them how you got the DTV using your own photo

@Aaron ****

you sound like the type of guy. That if the proof showed themselves and slapped you in the face, you would still say it was a lie.  Follow the laws of the visa you’re on. I shouldn’t have to give proof of someone breaking the law.

Alex Ni Wrong. There are a lot of assumptions on your side about how information is transmitted, and I doubt you’re working for immigration. Immigration conducts checks within the country, whether it’s for language schools or Muay Thai schools. Immigration obviously has access to your visa information, just like with any other visa; it’s in their system from the moment you arrive at the airport. And please, don’t tell us it’s not that way just because it’s not written on your little DTV paper. Immigration isn’t getting a PDF copy when you show up… 😂 It’s an e-Visa, and we’re in 2025. Whether the visa is newly issued by the MFA or extended by immigration doesn’t matter. Immigration can and does revoke visas in cases of abuse, just read the news. The DTV visa is treated the same way as the ED visa under immigration law: you’re a foreigner holding a visa, period. Muay Thai gyms or Thai cooking schools might not be required to transmit information to immigration, but that could change just as it did for language schools. And random checks are certainly not impossible. Everything works in cycles here: once they’re done dealing with ED visa frauds, they’ll move on to the next problematic category. Unfortunately, DTV is by far the easiest and cheapest visa to obtain, which makes it attractive to the wrong kind of people, including scammers.

Alex Ni first off immigration is connected to the Thai embassy. Second, your DTV visa will have your soft power written on it. Yes you can reschedule anything. But third they are checking the schools. I have seen them and I’ve had friends that work at some of the Muay Thai Studios and they have had immigration come in and check their class. And why would you post something on social media about doing this and not going to class? They do monitor social media if you’re doing this you are the problem of why they’re checking. Abide by the rules if not for yourself for others that come behind you.
