What are the requirements and experiences for obtaining a DTV for Muay Thai in Jakarta?

Question

Looking for experiences for Jakarta Softpower. 
I am in Indonesia now and want to apply for a soft power DTV (Muay Thai).

I am hearing mixed experiences for the embassy of Jakarta. My Muay Thai school is telling me, they do want a proof you have trained Muay Thai before. But I haven't, but would love to try. Thought of doing a 6 month course with a reputable certified gym.

Also I'm hearing that they do an interview. No problem with that in general, but I'm at Bali and do not really appreciate to fly there on a very short notice?

Any experiences of people with softpower Muay Thai?

Did you get the DTV for a 6 month course (or only METV)?

Ask Thailand · Answer

Many individuals have successfully applied for the Muay Thai DTV (soft power) visa in Jakarta without prior training experience. The requirements seem to emphasize a genuine interest in learning and the intention of taking up Muay Thai, rather than needing to show previous experience. Some applicants have reported that interviews are not common, and proof of prior training is typically not requested. If you plan to apply for a 6-month training course, you may be able to do so without facing significant obstacles in the process.

I did the muay thai dtv last month from Bali as well. Did a 6-month package from a muay thai gym.

I was not asked anything. Not any proof of prior experience nor any interview request

Go to Thailand on a Tourist visa and try out Muay Thai.

If you llike ti and want to train for the next 5 years, than you enroll at the school, get the needed documents and than leave to apply at an Embassy.

OR just get the dtv purpose workcation and train in your free time.

I applied last year with soft power Muay Thai in Jakarta for myself and my children as dependants. It was quite simple, took a little bit longer than normal because of national holidays, but other than that. Easy peacy ✌️

They never ask to show proof I already trained before

Many DTVERS had never done Muay Thai before. You do not need experience to get the DTV, you demonstrate your interest in wanting to learn and how the DTV enables you to do it. They do not interview as frequently as other embassies do but if asked then you need to attend. You will get a METV if you don't demonstrate the need for a 5 year visa.
