Immigration officer called my gym

A notice for everyone. I own a gym that is popular for those looking to train Muay Thai and apply for the DTV (Tiger Eye)

For the first time since the launch of the DTV we got a call from an immigration officer at the airport (not sure which airport as my staff answered the phone)asking to confirm someone's attendance.

For context, the person in question came via an agency, an agency we stopped working with because we suspect they are forging people's bank statements after I reached out to the agency incognito as a potential client.

The person was from a former Soviet bloc country.

The staff member told the immigration officer the truth that this person hasnt come in yet and it was a short matter of fact call.
Answer summary
The post highlights an incident where a gym owner received a call from an immigration officer inquiring about a DTV visa applicant who had not yet arrived for training. The gym, known for its Muay Thai training, ceased collaboration with an agency suspected of providing forged documents. The conversation touches on important immigration scrutiny and the challenges of ensuring legitimate visa applications in the sports training sector.

You no need to train anymore. Once issued visa is valid 5 years.

Lmao you obviously need to buy another course. It ain't free. You paid for the classes, you finished them, that's that. If you want another package you buy it.

Anonymous participant 941 it's literally common sense. When you buy cooking course (7 classes or so). When you finished, your course is done. You can't enroll unless you BUY new course

Anonymous participant 941 Did you write it? To a genuine Muay Thai boxer the quality of training provided would be the deciding factor. If not genuine, why reenroll?
