ORIGINAL POSTER

Applied 10/6 through Issacompass.

Paid roughly $1400 for visa fees and muai the courses.

Uploaded my documents, everything handled through them.

Approved 10/14. 8 working days through Chicago consulate. 

All in all I highly recommend their services and the application went smoothly.

Before people get in the comments yapping about how you don’t need an agent etc, I was rejected the first time and applied using an agent for peace of mind. 

Can’t wait to see Bangkok!!

I was thinking about using that company as well for the peace of mind. Do you mind breaking down your total if $1400 please?

I see that you are doing a 6 month muai Thai course which is the route I want to take as well, what school did they sign you up with?

Elite Fight Club in Bangkok. They’re a little slow to reply on what’s app but otherwise great.

$400 goes towards the visa application fee.

$1000 goes to the courses.

Glad you got approved! I used their service but went for the Thai Cooking School instead, and got approved in just a few days as well. Enjoy your time in the Land of Smiles :)

Yes, I paid the school about 15k THB for 6 months in order to get enrolled and receive all the documents needed for my DTV application.
