ORIGINAL POSTER

I want to thank this group for all the information and prompt response to all answers, I found it very helpful during my application process. Now I want to share my experience in case someone finds it useful.

DTV application (Muay Thai) Approved London embassy.

Application submitted - Monday 13th October

Requested additional document (e-ticket) - Thursday 16th October

E-Ticket submitted (only outbound flight) - Friday 17th October 

Visa approved - Today 22nd October

I submitted the following documents: 

Last 3 months of bank statements downloaded from the bank app but also got the current balance printed at the bank with a stamp and merged everything into one PDF. (I read in some previous posts that the stamp was requested so I got a stamp just in case).

Driving Licence as proof of current location (Also suggested in some post by successful applicants and by the gym I will be training)

Scanned copy of Passport, Photo and the documents provided by the Gym (I used FitFac Muay Thai Academy in Bangkok - Highly recommended).

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.
