ORIGINAL POSTERHallo everyone, if I enter to Thailand with a DTV visa soft power muay Thai, what sdI put on the "purpose of travel"? Education? 🙄
TLDR : Answer Summary
The best response for the 'purpose of travel' when entering Thailand with a DTV visa for soft power Muay Thai is to categorize it as 'tourism' according to multiple community suggestions. While some individuals mentioned 'holiday' or 'sports' as alternatives, the consensus points towards tourism as a suitable and safe choice for visa purposes.

I’ve applied for a DTV but my soft power is also 6 months Muay Thai camp, but is it still a 5 year visa? I want to come and go as I please, will be happy to renew the contract at the Thai boxing gym

A 6 month course will get you a 5 year visa. No checks on attendance later on. You can also work remotely if you want.Adam ******

@Thomas ******
no you need to have signed up for a minimum of 6 months with a Muay Thai school, preferably longer, in order to apply for a DTV visa under the Muay Thai option. But if you intend to work remotely from Thailand you have to use the workation optionThomas *******
@John *********
Muay Thai class is not a problem . I meant just the fee for the application onlineJohn **********
@Thomas ******
you have to pay to apply for the visa of course. It's roughly around 10k baht but varies by consulateReply to
