Approved in Manila.
US passport
-Applied via agent using Muay Thai soft power.
-Asked for additional documents the very next business day:
1. Proof of ongoing income. I have read other reports of Manila asking for proof of income from other applicants in this group. Note that this is in addition to the 3 months of statements showing 500k baht and that this is for a soft power Muay Thai app, not workcation. The embassy did not specify how much income they were looking for but apparently I met that threshold.
2. Proof of Muay Thai payment beyond the receipt (I provided a credit card statement showing the payment).
3. Thai translation of business registration for Muay Thai school.
-All documents submitted the same day they were requested. My visa agent also prepared a cover letter explaining my source of income.
-Approved after a total of 4 business days. No interview or further questions.
Overall a smooth process. My agent and Muay Thai provider were very helpful and responded quickly to questions and requests for additional documents. I used Siam Legal as the agent and FitFac as the Muay Thai provider for a 9 month course.
