Just been approved from Vientiane Laos. AMA, happy to help. I did Muay Thai soft core Visa. Happy to help anyone who needs clarification.

One thing I would recommend… when I paid for my Muay Thai course I actually had money I previously transferred to my girlfriend and she scan payed at the gym. They didn’t like that. I would recommend screenshooting your payment from you to the gym and bringing that with you as well as the receipt from the gym with the gym stamp ofcourse branded on it. Hope that tip helps. I would a bit nervous they would fail me for this

Approved in Vientiane for Muay Thai. Dec 2nd-16th was the wait. Interviewer asked for passport, live bank details, which activity and why, employment details, and where my condo is located.

Hello

I try to apply for a Soft Power Muay Thai Visa.

I have to fill out the lenght of my stay, which I dont know yet for sure. The Gym made me the letter for 1 year, but I wont stay that long. Just about 3-5 months.

Thank you for your help

Hi all,

UK, 30s, looking at the DTV 5-year Muay Thai visa and had a few quick questions:

1) I meet the 500k THB requirement but it’s split across a couple of investment accounts.

Do they accept multiple statements or is it safer to move it all into one bank account first?

2) Best place to apply if I’m currently in Thailand?

Happy to fly anywhere but want to keep costs down.

3) Roughly how long is processing taking at the moment?

Also — I’ve got another account with 500k but the money comes from betting exchange trading.

I’m guessing it’s best not to mention that on the application given Thailand’s stance on gambling?

Thanks in advance !

I got my DTV 1 year ago, while I was living in Thailand, but now I am moving to live in Japan, when I got my DTV it was the Muay Thai one, so now that I will not be in a Muay Thai Gym anymore, living in Japan, if I go as a tourist for a Week in Thailand, I would be going as a DTV Visa or a Tourist Visa? If as a DTV, since I am not in Muay Thai School anymore, there will be something wrong? How does it work? Thank you so much!

Soft power “how you intend to support yourself and future plans”

Hello everyone, I am applying for a 6 months Muay Thai course.

I practice this sport in Europe too, therefore a soft power DTV is perfect for my goals.

I currently have 800K in bank account, so over the 500K requested.

Plus I get every month from normal part time work in my country about 1000 euros.

If the embassy asks “how you intend to support yourself”, is it okay to simply say savings? Connecting it to their second question “what’s your plan after the 6 months course” basically I would like to keep practicing Muay Thai in Thailand, but I will probably need to come back to my home country for at least 3 months to finish my job contract. I am focusing on opening a business for online income for the future, but right now a normal job is the only thing I can do.

Is it okay for the application to state savings & come back to my country? Or should I say something different in the Cover Letter like saving & apply for a new Muay Thai course?

Need advice, thank you 🙏

Hi everyone, I need some advice about my DTV (Soft Power Muay Thai) visa entry.

I received my DTV visa in August and I already used my first entry when I arrived in Thailand on 1st September and stayed until 23rd November.

Now I’ll be making my second entry on 4th January, and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly because I’ve heard immigration rules have been changing a lot recently.

During my first entry, I carried all the documents I submitted for the visa (accommodation proof, training receipt, etc.), but immigration didn’t ask to see anything.

For this second entry, what should I expect?

• Should I carry proof of accommodation again?

• Should I carry/prepare updated Muay Thai training receipts?

• Do I need to show 500,000 THB in my bank account for financial proof?

• Are they generally stricter for second entries now?

If anyone has recently done their second entry on the DTV Soft Power Muay Thai visa, I would really appreciate your advice or experience.

Thank you! 🙏🥊

Has anyone in the group gone through a company in Bangkok called Siam Legal getting there soft power (muay thai) Dtv visa approved recently or at all...? Yeah Yeah i know you can do it yourself but i'm not the defintion of a very tech savy bloke i work underground and drill holes and blow sh/t up for a job......anyone with some info would be much appreciated......thank you

OK, I know its early and things of course will change but I like to get things some what planned out.

I posted the other day that I am exploring doing the DTV visa via Muay Thai classes. Rather do that then the retirement visa (will be 50 when I arrive). The 500k baht not an issue (have that locked away already) will even be making over 100k baht a month while in Thailand. *I don't want to lock in 800k baht in a Thai bank, I have heard reports of the banks freezing foreign account holders accounts.*

Some additional questions that I have and hope to get answered.

DTV visa is a 5 year visa, do I need to stay enrolled in Muay Thai the whole time in Thailand?

The visa is good for 180 days, do the day restart everytime I come back to Thailand? For example I came in and 2 months later I go to Malaysia for 2 weeks, do I start my 180 days over again?

Is it difficult to get a Thai bank account with a DTV visa? Simply want to be able to move and access money without paying high transfer and ATM fees.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.
