Can anyone let me know your thoughts on this company to help with my TVD visa?

Their google review comments seem super suspicious.

Thank you so much in advance!!

Hi there I work at Issa Compass and just wanted to offer that, if you're not sure and want to check us out (because I totally understand, when you're choosing to work with someone for your visa; you want to be absolutely sure!) feel free to book a free consultation with us at

or, if you're in Bangkok and it's convenient for you, drop by our office Monday-Friday 10am-6pm. We'd be happy to chat!

I was denied twice but still had to pay at the Thai consulate in Canada so I would prefer to get it done when I’m down here this trip from a company that offers a full refund

@Mike ******
why were you rejected twice (or was it a cancellation)?

book the 6 month course, get the letter from the muay thai gym to provide, use 4 months of it and cop the loss on the other 2. easy.

for sure. I’m in that weird area of only being able to get four months away from work a year but can’t stand doing visa runs as it’s missed training days

My apologies for the misunderstanding

- only way you will get the DTV is by showing that you plan to stay longer.

I fought professionally when I was 25 years younger. Now it’s a yearly heath maintenance and not at all about competition. I come down, I train hard in cardio, I hang out with my Thai friends, I enjoy my favourite island in the world, I run the hiking club, the Thai children’s skateboarding club, and I go back to work recharged in the cold outside of Canada each year.

Happy and healthy

I think this was meant to include the other John who responded to you. I think what he is saying though, if you keep telling the embassy that you will be there for less than six months, they will keep giving you a tourist visa instead of DTV.

accidentally filled in my middle name in the box that said middle name.

Second time I was issued the 90 day visa but charged for the TVD.

@Mike ******
has the tourist visa expired? You won’t be able to apply again until it has. What embassy gave you a tourist visa instead? Both Canada?

it will expire in 1.5 months when I go back to Canada. The idea was to get this done in a close country before I go home as I come here to train in mouy Thai 4 months of the year. I’m getting too old to do visa runs. Lol

@Mike ******
4 months training is not long enough

thank you! I’m 45

@Mike ******
your age has nothing to do with it. You need more than 6 months training

I don’t see why an agent would offer you a full refund for services rendered. They don’t control the Thai MFA.

Why do you need help with an online application?

They appear to be a coworking space.

We also offer DTV visa assistance, and related services starting at 8,000 THB.
