Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced accredited Muay Thai Gym in Thailand. I’ll be khon Kaen area. For the DTV do you actually have attend the course or just pay the money?

As a football referee and a yoga teacher the DTV is useless as you need a work permit to do your job in Thailand.

I always wonder why people will go the extra mile to be an illegal foreigner, breaking multiple laws in a foreign country. Getting arrested may sound fun, the stay in Immigration Detention Center and loosing all your belongings in that foreign country is less fun.

There are no follow-ups. I know two people who have done it. They simply paid to course fee to simplify the application process. The DTV is a free for all

Anonymous participant 419 schools lose their ability to help people get visas if they become a Visa School where attendance is zero.

You know immigration officers turn up at the courses sometimes...

Obviously you are meant to attend the course the DTV was approved for. In practice some do not.
