TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation revolves around the requirements for the DTV (Distinguished Talent Visa) related to Muay Thai training in Thailand. A user seeks clarification on what is needed after completing the initial 15 lessons in the first 6 months. Various comments suggest that while some do not find the requirement compelling, it is advisable to leave Thailand after 6 months and return to obtain a new 6 month visa without needing to provide further proof of Muay Thai training. Others mention that in-country extensions may require more documentation, including proof of ongoing training.

I thought someone said they asked at airplane for proof of continuing Muay Thai

Otherwise they could just give you the 6 month tourist visa. 6 months for 5 years makes no sense

But others have done it with a few dentist appointments

For my Muay Thai camp, minimum is 30 sessions/ 6 months. And after your 6 months you can just fly out & in with another 6 months without Muay Thai class.

But if you would like to do "in country" extend you have to retain 500,000 baht in your account + new 6 months Muay Thai enrollment

We do 6 months 1 class a week. 26 classes. 15,000 baht

After the 6 months is up its advised to leave and return for a new 6 month stamp with no further bank statements or muay thai documents required... currently.

Extending in country is problematic they want a lot of difficult documents including more muay thai course documents
