TLDR : Answer Summary
Applicants seeking a DTV visa for Muay Thai in Thailand generally report that issues arise mainly from documentation rather than the activity itself. Many users indicate that those who adhere to all requirements experience few problems, while others attribute issues to incomplete documentation. Specific advice suggests having clear paperwork, proof of funds, and confirmation from the training gym, with London's approval rate noted as high for such applications. Overall, delays can occur but are often manageable with the right preparations.

Some people have had delays, but most issues usually come down to documentation rather than the activity itself. As long as your paperwork is clear, proof of funds, and proper confirmation from the gym, approvals are generally smooth.

If you’re going through the Muay Thai route, we run structured training at WKK Gym in Bangkok and can guide you on what’s typically needed from the gym side for the DTV process.

Happy to discuss more if helpful 👍

Those who met all the requirements will comment no problem.

Those who did not met all the requirements will say the Embassy is not good.

Why do you ask?

London has high approval rate. Having a 6mth plus course along with all required docs and you should be fine.
