What are the costs and options for obtaining a DTV visa through Muay Thai classes in Thailand?

There is concern among expats regarding the rising costs associated with obtaining a Digital Visa (DTV) through Muay Thai classes, with some businesses perceived as exploiting foreigners with high fees for paperwork without guaranteeing visa approval. While some participants have found genuine gyms that charge reasonable rates and assist with documentation, others report experiences of higher costs, questioning the necessity of long-term commitments to classes just for visa purposes. Alternatives such as cooking or medical appointments are also discussed, with some individuals successfully acquiring DTVs through less expensive means.
