the gym has a policy that prohibits talking about it publicly. Punishment for ignoring this rule was described as immediate loss of course access and paid fees.Reply to

Both of those embassys are very strict. We are just a Muay Thai gym not a visa agent but I would suggest checkiing out their exact reqwuirements before applying at either of those embassys.Reply to

@Bầu ****************
its a 5 year visa but if people are worried about showing ongoing soft power activity we have a cheap DTV plus course.Helyn *******
@Muay ************
Anonymous participant 665 is this right ? Once the 6 month course is over the visa is valid for 5 years? On what terms? Thank you 🙏
Muay *************
@Helyn ******
its valid for 5 years on the terms that the stamp says 5 years. The thing that worries some people is that upon entry to Thailand the immigration officer has discretionary power to refuse entry for any reason. Its rare but some customers have been asked to prove ongoing soft power course attendance. For those who are anxious we have come up with our DTV plus course.
