What are the options for obtaining a long-term visa in Thailand, and what are the requirements for staying?

A 6 month course gets you a 5 year visa. Up to you if you attend or not.

Cannot use search bar, let alone 5 years muay thai

As of right now.. you can use the Muay Thai to be approved. And never attend single day.

Maybe a 1 week cooking class would be better suited for you..

Try the thai cultural exchange program for the dtv soft power. It's a program for thai culture includes seminars and 100 of on line learning lessons.

The visa is valid for 5 years from the day of being issued.

Everytime you enter Thailand with your DTV you will have 180days stamp, you can choose to either extend the 180days at the immigration office or you can leave the kingdom and do a "border run" and come back in and get your next 180days.

To apply for the visa you must meet the criteria you dont have to be signing up for muay thai for 5yrs. As long as you have booked an initial course of a few months (i think 4-5months is best so you are showing the need for a longer visa than usual)

At the moment once youve met the criteria there has been no asking of resubmitted all the evidence if you leave the country but if you ectend you must prove everything again that you still meet the criteria.

Soft power has included muay thai, cooking classes and medical treatment. All of which must be booked in advance and show evidence of at time of applying. Hope that helps
