DTV Muay Thai

Does anyone know if there is a minimum amount of muay thai lessons you have to prebook in order to receive your visa? / has any had an experience with not having enough booked?

TLDR : Answer Summary

To obtain a DTV visa for Muay Thai training in Thailand, it is generally required to prebook a minimum of 6 months of lessons. Some embassies may have stricter criteria and could issue a METV instead if the course duration is deemed insufficient.

Minimum 6 months, some embassies are fussy about the length of time.

Have a search of posts. There have people been rejected for courses too short. Certain Embassies have also issued a METV instead of DTV due to course length.
