DTV Soft Power Muay Thai Visa Timeline โ€“ Belgian Embassy ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช

I would like to share my experience for those who are currently waiting for their DTV Soft Power Muay Thai visa or preparing their application.

๐Ÿ“… May 10: Visa fee paid and application submitted.

๐Ÿ“… May 11: Received a request for additional documents from the embassy.

The following documents were requested: โ€ข A letter explaining my plans and what I intend to do during the 5 years covered by the DTV visa in Thailand. โ€ข Proof of payment for my Muay Thai courses made from my own bank account. โ€ข Proof of accommodation. โ€ข Proof of round-trip flight tickets.

๐Ÿ“… May 11: After submitting the requested documents, my application status changed to "Pending Approval."

๐Ÿ“… June 7: Visa approved on Sunday, June 7 at 8:50 PM.

โณ Total processing time: From May 10 to June 7, approximately 4 weeks from payment and submission to final approval.

I hope this timeline helps others who are currently waiting or preparing their DTV Soft Power Muay Thai application. Good luck to everyone!

Thank You for your helpful report ๐Ÿ‘

Congratulations ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

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 โœˆ๏ธ 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.

Which Muay Thai gym will you be training at and where is it located?

Thank you for your helpful reply ๐Ÿ˜Š Enjoy your next 5 years of the DTV visa.

Vast majority of people get the DTV by themselves. Some need help with documentation for a variety of reasons so an agent can help. There are some who think using an agent will guarantee approval which is not the case.

The round trip air fare was for 6 months from your application date? Did you purchase a refundable ticket? Thanks for posting your experience.

I booked a return flight that could be cancelled within 24 hours and kept my outbound flight, which was on June 9th, so tomorrow... I was so close, I thought I was going to miss my flight... My return flight was exactly 6 months later, yes
