Hi everyone!

I have a company based in Hong Kong, and I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa. Should I apply using my business documents, or through the Muay Thai school with Compass? Do both options have the same chance of approval?

Thanks for your help!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the DTV visa application, specifically whether to apply using their business documents from Hong Kong or through a Muay Thai school in Thailand. A comment suggests that using a school may have higher approval odds, but warns of potential restrictions and costs. An alternative approach through a workation and applying at embassies in neighboring countries like Laos is recommended.

Soft power might have a higher chance of approval but many people think it’s the category more likely to face restrictions or proof of ongoing enrollment down the road to get the full 5 years. So it could end up being a more costly option. I would try the workation route and go through an embassy like Indonesia, Vietnam or Laos. Laos required and interview which can actually help you explain your circumstances, so might give you a better chance of approval.
