Thank you for your reply.

Does the work contract indicate the job responsibilities?

ORIGINAL POSTER

yes, but the responsibilities in this contract were very broad, therefore they asked for a resume and letter to explain the role. So I guess you could attach your resume and a letter explaining what you do.

How come they asked for 3 months bank statements ? I thought that was only workcation option - thought Soft Power option only requires latest balance ??

We also got asked for 6 months of bank statements from HCM. That is definitely a big one with them. We did soft power.

You just need the 500k as the ending balance not for every 6 months of the statements

Congratulations! I want to apply for Muay Thai also. Can you tell me exactly what business details should I ask from the school before purchasing the classes, just to be sure they are approved for DTV?

Thanks!

if the gym is accredited to do DTV packages they should provide all the docs. It's a letter stating your start date, paid amount, business details. They also provided extra documents of owners passport, business registration and management details etc.

What location will you train?

If you're in Bangkok,
