Hi everyone, I’m planning to apply for a Thai DTV visa for Muay Thai and I have a few questions for people who have already gone through the process.

For those who applied, what did the embassy actually ask for ?

Was it a letter of invitation from a Muay Thai camp, or something more?

If it was a letter, what did it need to include exactly? For example, dates, training schedule, duration, payment details, etc.

I’ve also seen online that the invitation is supposed to come from a certified or officially registered camp, and not just any gym. Can anyone confirm if that’s really required?

Before the camp issued the invitation letter, did you have to sign any kind of agreement with them? Did you need to pay in advance or commit to a specific training package and for a specific duration ?

And finally, were you required to stay at the same camp for the entire duration of the DTV visa?

I’m asking because I’m not sure I want to stay in one place the whole time.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Answer summary
The post discusses the process of applying for a Thai DTV visa specifically for Muay Thai training. The author seeks clarification on the requirements, particularly whether a letter of invitation is necessary from a registered Muay Thai camp, what details this letter should include (such as training schedules and payment), and if upfront commitments to the camp are required. Commenters suggest that a commitment to the training is paramount and recommend that those unsure about staying at one camp consider a METV for more flexible travel options in Thailand.

From Reading your Post... it's apparent that you really don't have a commitment to participating or completing the training you signed up to get the DTV visa.

Suggest you forget about the DTV visa and apply for the METV multiple entry tourist visa. It's better suited for your situation and gives you the freedom to travel wherever you want in Thailand.

With a couple simple border bounces the METV can get you up to 8 months in Thailand.

You have to have applied and paid for a course of over 6 months with a government certified and licensed gym. Make sure the gym can provide all the necessary documentation before you pay them
