ORIGINAL POSTER

About to go to Vietnam to start applying DTV - SOFT power skills. 

I'm deciding between 2 gyms - 1 doing unlimited 1 month training and the other 1x training a day for 3 months. Both same price. 

Question: 1. Is 1 month training sufficient for the DTV visa? 2. Did anyone recently apply got the visa with only 1 month training schedule? 

PS: my preference is the 1 month unlimited training.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation revolves around whether a 1 month unlimited training program is sufficient for obtaining a DTV visa, with various users sharing their experiences and suggestions. Many advise that longer training durations, such as 6 months, are more appropriate or safe for visa approval. However, one user indicates success with a 1 month program from a specific gym, suggesting that the eligibility may depend on the gym's documentation and reputation.

The way my gym works it is like this.

We sell a 6 month course of 1 class a week (15,000 baht) we present it with an itinerary and curriculum for the 6 months but it's also flexible

So once the dtv is acquired you could convert it to a flexible 26 class program and you can take the classes whenever you want

All in one month or spread out over as long as you like

It's popular and that system works well

6 months or more for Muay Fight EVO360 Thailand - Thepprasit Boxing Stadium is very familiarity this visa and has all the proper documents. Make sure whichever gym you pick has all of its documents in place for this visa.

Have you looked at the Vietnam Thai Embassy or Consulate website where you will be applying for the DTV visa for their requirements for the DTV visa?

Read the posts about getting the DTV visa for Muay Thai training on this forum.

Suggest you use a Muay Thai training gym which has successfully assisted many people to get the DTV visa for Muay Thai training with them.

Where will you be living in Thailand?

What is your passport nation?

Anonymous participant ...

...the Muay Thai training can be spread out through the year.

...Talk with a Muay Thai training school gym in Bangkok which has successfully assisted many people in getting the DTV visa for Muay Thai training.

...And where did their students go to submit their application ?

...And for how long did they sign up for Muay Thai training?
