The other replies say it all... Make sure you apply with both a Muay Thai gym which has successful track record of providing the important documents and helped its students obtain the DTV visa....

AND use the Thai Embassy or Consulate where the school recommends.

There is no complication if you subscribe for a certified school for a decent amount of months (6-9 months).

Anonymous participant 292 true some people have used a non government approved Muay Thai school that's the issue. Better TI check in the search bar here for schools that have been successful. Typical though people thinking they can just do as they want 😂 there are rules but people always trying to short cut or pay less money. You get what you pay for in Thailand
