Dtv soft power.

Has anyone gotten their dtv approved for 1 course but then decided to change to another one? I initially signed up for muay thai 9 months but hurt my self and the doctor advised to stop for at least 6 months and then review. I'm thinking of changing over to an approved cooking class instead, but not sure if that's allowed

Just got my DTV soft power (Muay Thai) approved in Hanoi!

Submitted: May 18th

Pending approval: May 19th

Granted: May 28th

Nationality: Austrian

Didn’t have a bank statement for this month so my bank in Austria stamped and signed the latest one with the current date (since there haven’t been any changes since January so that was the last one I had) + another one from November and screenshots of my online banking.

Was getting a bit nervous cause processing times used to be shorter and I had my flight out of Vietnam booked for June 2nd so super relieved to have gotten my approval.

Also, for anyone applying with an Austrian passport: for my place of issue I put exactly what’s written on my passport (“Magistrat Wien MBA 2/20”) since most people in this group said that’s what you’re supposed to do but was still a bit worried cause it’s so long but no problems at all.

Booked my Muay Thai classes with Muay Thai fever in Chiang Mai and they were really helpful, responded fast to any questions I had and were lovely overall. Excited to train there.

Good luck to everyone still waiting for approval or applying soon ☺️

Any soft power options in Koh phangan?

I am looking for a Muay Thai club to get the DTV visa near BTS Phra Khanong Bangkok, any suggestions? Thanks

Has anyone done a seminar (besides discover thai nature)? I am interested in Thai architecture or something like that.

Hi, we are a group of friends are looking to apply for softpower DTV and move to Bangkok in october. There is 7 of us 3 male and 4 female. The guys want to do muay thai while the girls want cooking. We have the money requirement and are looking for help with the rest required. We would be applying from Serbia.

Thanks!

Thinking of applying for DTV under soft power (muay thai).

A school told me before ppl could get away with just 3 month courses, now 6 is not even enough, hence they offer only 9 month courses .... The school is called FitFac and is quite big. I doubt they would want to scam me like that. Wyt folks?

Does anyone know any Muay Thai gyms in Hua Hin that’ll accept my DTV visa?

I’ve used the 60 days free visa I get from the uk 3 times within the last 8 months and want to come again in July. Would i get stopped for coming again too many times even if I can prove my money?

Hello can you recommend a cheap DTV option in Phuket ( Patong best )

Phuket Hero Gym ask for 45.000 that’s crazy , maximum 27.000 that’s also high price

Would love to find around 15 k
