Hey, I need your help please. I would like to start of next year March for approx. 1 year to Thailand to visit several schools for Muay Thai aka Thai Soft Power. I've been trying to reach the consulate for 14 days. By phone and mail. But no chance. What kind of visa should I apply? DTV? And when should I apply for it? Thank you very much for your help. Best regards

Hej, ich bräuchte bitte eure Hilfe. Ich möchte ab nächstes Jahr Anfang März für ca. 1 Jahr nach Thailand um mehrere Schulen für Muay Thai also Thai Soft Power und zu besuchen. Ich probiere seit 14 Tagen das Konsulat zu erreichen. Per Telefon und per Mail. Aber keine Chance. Was soll ich für ein Visum beantragen? DTV? Und wann soll ich es beantragen? Vielen lieben Dank für eure Hilfe. Liebe Grüße

Just arrived with the dtv for a 6 month muay Thai course .. when I leave at the 180 days do I have to have a new course to come back in on or will I be able to just reenter as it is a multiple entry visa and also will they ask to see the 500k baht in your bank account ?

Previously I had applied with a Thai botany course. This time around I realized I want to get back into Muay Thai for personal reasons. 💪🍎

And yes, I PRINTED THE VISA and am back in Thailand now with a 180 day stamp. No more cool passport stickers but it’s all good. 😌

Applied for dtv with soft power Muay Thai yesterday 9:30 pm and got approved today 11:45 pm. Applied in Hanoi.

Sent last 3 months of bank statements + screenshot of my app (I had more than 500.000 baht so maybe this made that it went so quickly with approval)

Receipt of dinner in Hanoi, plane ticket to Hanoi, and 2 last pages of passport.

And boxing commission letter + invitation letter (info Muay Thai gym, proof payment for classes etc).

I had never expected it to go so fast after reading all the messages here! So wanted to share this experience here. It can go very fast! 😃

Does anyone have a trusted agency recommendation for applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)? My son is planning to apply through Vietnam under the Muay Thai category.

Hello, I applied in Hanoi for a soft power visa Muy Thai on Friday around 5 PM. On Monday around 5 PM, it went into "pending approval" and I haven't heard anything since 😥
