Hey, does anyone know what the better option for me is? I’m traveling to Vietnam and want to apply for the DTV visa from there. I’m self-employed / run a business in Germany, so I think I could qualify for that type of visa.

However, I only have 10 days in Vietnam before I want to return to Thailand. Would it be smarter to go with the Sports Visa since it’s faster? Also, what’s the cheapest option that actually works?

Thanks a lot!

Muay Thai - DTV - Pattaya

Hello everyone,

I believe many of you here have successfully applied for the DTV using the soft power route — specifically Muay Thai.

I’m currently looking for a Muay Thai gym in Pattaya that not only has a solid recent track record of supporting DTV 5-year visa applications, but also offers serious training.

If you have any personal recommendations or firsthand experiences, I’d really appreciate your input!

Thanks 🙏

Anyone know of a Muay Thai gym on Koh Phangan that will offer authorisations? I’ve searched this group and found nothing. Thanks!

Hi Guys !!! Did anyone apply for the “Muay Thai Soft Power" recently in Cambodia? I heard that many people that tried got their DTV cancelled due of a missing document "Of The Ministry Of Sports” which is impossible to get‼️

I’m currently in Cambodia! If anyone has some news and could share I would be really happy!

Hey! Has anybody here already tried to apply for the dtv for the category „sports“? I wonder if diving would be an option 🤔

Hi everyone! what is the document required for DTV visa if I want to apply for Muay Thai course? Confirmation letter and receive are enough or not?

On my way to the LOS with my Soft Power DTV on a single ticket! Emirates wanted to see the Visa as it was a single ticket and surprised that it’s a 5 year expiry date! For info the sport I used to get the Visa is not on any list but I am going to be training in Thailand for months at a time. I needed a letter from the general manager of the sports club … and a copy of his passport along with my sporting CV. Granted in London in 5 days. It was a £300 gamble but I emailed the embassy first to ask if it was acceptable and they said apply. Very happy!
