TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus among commenters suggests that both one month and three months of Muay Thai training can potentially qualify applicants for a DTV visa, although higher durations such as six months are recommended by some for better chances. It is crucial that the training is conducted at an authorized gym. Various embassies may have differing criteria regarding the training duration, and applicants should ensure that they have documentation supporting their training to facilitate the visa application process.

Do six months but get them to spread the training you'd do in one month over six on the application.

It's the ED visa over again. People got it on language school with 2500 students, and 2 teachers.

Not many gyms are authorized and it has to be a big gym, if they have 500 full time students.

As one said, why not give them away, if people have funds to live here.

Good points. The problem may arise in the future as they did with Ed Visa. Immigration might want to see proof of actual improvement and learning or even ongoing enrollment.

Extension via immigration very likely requires evidence of activity and finances.

We will have to wait and see but I can see it happening. They control entry points too. Border bounce prices have gone up as it is 60 days now. They do like to make up for loss of earnings.

yes have to wait but highly likely. The famous video immigration official mentioned some sort of evidence needed. All will be known soon.

Well the DTV as we know is MFA. Entry and extensions are Royal Thai Police Immigration. They are 2 different entities and in Thailand different departments run like their own feudal fiefdoms. The only place I have witnessed joined up working is the BOI.
