✅ Approved 🎉

I applied for the Soft Power Muay Thai DTV through the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles.

Application submitted: Monday, 10 a.m.

Approval received: Tuesday, 11:25 a.m. → ~24-hour turnaround

What I submitted:

Bio data page of passport

Passport photo

Proof of current address (front & back of driver’s license)

Three months of bank statements showing $17.2k USD

Tiger Eye MMA documents: invitation letter, payment receipt(6 month membership), boxing board registration, company affidavit

Notes:

Straightforward process

No extra documents requested

I wasn’t asked for proof of accommodation, but I had it ready just in case

A huge thank you to this group, especially those who shared their processing times. It really helped me set realistic expectations. I did not include any other documentation or cover letter for the Soft Power DTV. Hopefully this helps the next person applying out of L.A. Thank you. ✨️

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
