Anyone got any decent schools/visa agents that are legit?

Other than certain companies offering visas with no attendance for 90k and schools requiring physical attendance in one place for 12 months with very strict requirements (I miss 1 day and I get my visa revoked and have to leave within 24 hours ) I'm struggling to find a reputable company I can either learn muay Thai with or do the online classes.

They recommend the DTV visa but I haven't earnt the 80k USD in 2 years due to travelling / working as a scuba diver.

I have the 500k baht cash requirement but none of the extra requirements back dating 2 years. $40,000 earned income per year X2.

I'm happy to attend to my requirements but I would like to move locations every couple months so I believe the online method would be the best for me as I'm in the process of setting up my company via my computer and can work from anywhere.

Id love to hear your thoughts.

(Genuine help/advice please) - I know alot of you will reflect your demons towards me in the comments.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is looking for legitimate schools or visa agents that offer flexibility for learning Muay Thai and obtaining a visa without strict attendance requirements. They mention the difficulties they face with the current visa options and the 80k USD income requirement and seek recommendations for both educational institutions and immigration support. Responses clarify misconceptions about the DTV visa income requirements and provide alternatives, including informal Muay Thai classes and the possibility of using savings to qualify.

You are confused.

If you want to learn "informal" muay classes.

You pay for a muay thai class membership (maybe 6 mos.)

You have 500k in savings.

You prove both and can obtain a DTV.

Check the requirements from your local Thai embassy.

Online education course does not require any visa as you can do it from your home country. Ed visa means you need to attend classes not do it online.

the DTV application process doesn't require 80,000.- USD income proof. This is for the application to the LTR visa. You are confusing the two

 besides the 500k bank balance the thing you need to demonstrate is remote work relationship. Suggest joining the FB group Destination Visa Thailand.
