-Asked for additional documents the very next business day:
1. Proof of ongoing income. I have read other reports of Manila asking for proof of income from other applicants in this group. Note that this is in addition to the 3 months of statements showing 500k baht and that this is for a soft power Muay Thai app, not workcation. The embassy did not specify how much income they were looking for but apparently I met that threshold.
2. Proof of Muay Thai payment beyond the receipt (I provided a credit card statement showing the payment).
3. Thai translation of business registration for Muay Thai school.
-All documents submitted the same day they were requested. My visa agent also prepared a cover letter explaining my source of income.
-Approved after a total of 4 business days. No interview or further questions.
Overall a smooth process. My agent and Muay Thai provider were very helpful and responded quickly to questions and requests for additional documents. I used Siam Legal as the agent and FitFac as the Muay Thai provider for a 9 month course.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user successfully applied for a Muay Thai visa in Manila using an agent and provided necessary documents, including proof of ongoing income, payment confirmation for Muay Thai training, and a business registration translation. The approval came within four business days without an interview. Helpful tips were shared in the comments about printing the visa confirmation email for travel.
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.
