hello looking for some advice please! I am a muay thai fighter, have been training in Thailand the past few years on and off and now of course the only valid option for me is DTV soft power muay thai.

I'm in Malaysia at the moment seeing friends while I sort it out- but what is worrying me is it's asking for last 6 months pay slips.

I'm a fighter so hardly earn much money! I have the required amount of savings to meet the threshold and earn enough monthly teaching online to get me by but, i live very cheaply in thailand - the money i earn online isn't THAT much.

Any advice? much appreciated
Answer summary
The user is a Muay Thai fighter currently in Malaysia and seeking advice on applying for a DTV visa in Thailand. They are concerned about the requirement for 6 months of pay slips, as they earn little from fighting. Commenters suggest that the DTV program does not require strict income verification but emphasizes the importance of showing savings of 500,000 baht and providing documentation like a training portfolio to support the application.

There is no income requirement for the DTV only the saving 500k in account is needed for the muay thai one. They will want to see last 6 months to assess you are a working person woth current account but no minimum monthly wage slips. As above it will be helpful if you provide a cover letter/portfolio of your training and previous visits as well as your intentions whilst on DTV and how you will afford your stay.

Since you are a Muay Thai fighter, why don't you apply for a soft power Muay Thai training program. So, that means a soft power DTV.

Post which you need to show savings and financial stability ie higher the savings the better it is. Also, some monthly earnings will be fine. Salary slips won't be important.

Also, share your complete portfolio of Muay Thai trainings and you should be fine.
