What was the experience of getting a Thai visa for Muay Thai training after previous rejections?

Approved after interview in Manila. (Soft Power Muay Thai)

Just got approved in Manila two hours after in person interview at embassy (took maybe 3 minutes for the interview). Just to let you guys know there is still hope if you have been rejected. I was rejected twice, once in HCMC and again in Hanoi. No idea the reason for rejections, the only thing I did different this time was use Issa Compass and it was 100% worth the extra 200 USD. Whole process… submitted to Issa compass all documents on February 23. Request for interview March 2, which I pushed back to March 10 due to being on a super small island way out of the way in Cebu and had just been in a motor bike crash 4 days prior. The Embassy was very accommodating to this. Interview conducted on the 10th, only questions asked was to show on my phone my mobile banking info and my reason for interest in taking Muay Thai classes (no prior Muay Thai experience only a military background but not sure if that even mattered). Good luck to everyone out there. 🤙
