Hi guys, just a quick question regarding the Soft Power DTV. I’m planning to apply via the Muay Thai course route, but I’m struggling to find clear info on the course duration requirements. Does anyone know if there’s a minimum course length required to be eligible for the 5-year visa? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Answer summary

To be eligible for the Soft Power DTV visa through a Muay Thai course, it is generally recommended to enroll in a course lasting between 9 months to 1 year. Applicants who only enrolled in a 6-month course may receive a METV visa instead of the DTV.

Hi Kin. If you need an agent then reach out to me. A good friend of mine can take care of everything, get you into a well established gym that aligns with DTV and will handle every step for you at a small fee. DM me and i can introduce you. Thanks 🙏

Go for 9 months to 1 year (I applied for 1 year everything else considered, my DTV was approved).

Recent applicants who applied DTV soft power course Muy Thai and put in 6 months were given METV, instead of DTV.
