What should I do about my DTV in Thailand after an accident that prevents me from practicing Muay Thai?
Hey 👋
I have a DTV under the Soft Power category for Muay Thai. I came to Thailand in January 2025 and completed a six-month Muay Thai course until around mid-2025. After that, I switched to a regular gym because I developed problems with my shoulder and could no longer train Muay Thai properly.
Then I stopped training completely. At the beginning of 2026, I had an accident, and I have been undergoing therapy ever since. I am currently still receiving physiotherapy in Thailand every 2–3 days. My doctor has told me that I should not do Muay Thai for the next few years.
What should I do now? Could this be a problem for my DTV?
I have had long-term rental contracts in Thailand since the beginning, as well as MRT and other things here.
Could Immigration cancel my visa because I am no longer able to do Muay Thai?
Do I need to inform Immigration about my situation, or should I just keep my medical documents in case they ask?
I’m honestly a bit worried about this and would really appreciate some advice. 😔

Answer summary
A user with a DTV visa under the Soft Power category for Muay Thai expresses concern about their ability to continue training due to a shoulder injury and ongoing physiotherapy. They ask if their inability to practice Muay Thai will impact their visa status and whether they need to inform Immigration about their medical situation. Community comments suggest that as long as the visa is legitimate and they can provide documentation of medical treatment, there should be little concern about visa cancellation.
