Did you apply for a muay thai course? Reportedly if the course it's short (less than 6 months) they might grant a multi entry tourism visa instead of the DTV.

Anonymous participant 😮 definitely TRY to get ahold of them because the DTV was 400USD and the 6 month METV was just 200USD 😕

I don't, because i applied for workcation and attached all of my work documents. I think if they're granted multi entry tourism visa is useless because i'm from visa exempt country.
