DTV Muay Thai

Does anyone know if there is a minimum amount of muay thai lessons you have to prebook in order to receive your visa? / has any had an experience with not having enough booked?

To anyone with a Muay Thai Softpower DTV. A question they will try catch you out with at the airport is. Will you be fighting in Thailand? The answer is No you are only here for training.

Hello all! I am applying under soft activity Muai Thai at the London embassy and would love to hear what successful applicants have filled under the Accommodation in Thailand. I plan to book a hotel for a couple of weeks while I find a condo for the long term. If I fill the hotel and then mark additional accommodation I would have to put details but obviously I don't have them yet. Thanks in advance.

Approved in Manila.

US passport

-Applied via agent using Muay Thai soft power.

-Asked for additional documents the very next business day:

1. Proof of ongoing income. I have read other reports of Manila asking for proof of income from other applicants in this group. Note that this is in addition to the 3 months of statements showing 500k baht and that this is for a soft power Muay Thai app, not workcation. The embassy did not specify how much income they were looking for but apparently I met that threshold.

2. Proof of Muay Thai payment beyond the receipt (I provided a credit card statement showing the payment).

3. Thai translation of business registration for Muay Thai school.

-All documents submitted the same day they were requested. My visa agent also prepared a cover letter explaining my source of income.

-Approved after a total of 4 business days. No interview or further questions.

Overall a smooth process. My agent and Muay Thai provider were very helpful and responded quickly to questions and requests for additional documents. I used Siam Legal as the agent and FitFac as the Muay Thai provider for a 9 month course.

Hi guys update post on my experience applying from Jakarta

I went through Issa the application you can use on your phone. They’re based in thong lor, Bangkok. They were recommended to me by a friend who got her medical dtv

I arrived in Jakarta on the 14th. My application was submitted by them on 15 September on Tuesday the 23rd. I got a request asking for photos or proof of my interest in Muay Thai. I submitted photos of me at the Muay Thai Stadium in Bangkok, as well as my ticket stub I also sent photos of inside the gym. None included me in the photos and finally a photo of me punching the boxing bag at my gym.

I received the approval from Issa via email today at around 2:30 PM. I used a popular gym that I saw advertised tier based in Chang Mai. All of the documents were perfect and I didn’t need anything else.

Got approved for Muay Thai visa today, same day after the interview for 5 years. I used an agency which helped get all the documents in order before everything was submitted, IMO, this makes it worth the cost. They also have a service that can do the 90 day report for a small fee.

Short story though: about a month ago, I attempted to return to Thailand on a visa exempt status after my ED visa expired, I got grilled at the BKK border and was denied entry. I don't believe i was given a fair chance to demonstrate my Thai knowledge, the officers were quite hostile which totally threw me off and I hesitated having a conversation with them in Thai. They asked maybe 2 questions at most and spoke at a native level, didnt ask to see if I could read or write Thai - the experience afterwards was fking awful. Anyone that has been through this will know 😂... surprisingly very few first hand accounts of others experiences i can find online, but you literally get treated like a criminal.

Anyway, just curious if anyone has had an extended stay in thailand and now obtained the DTV. Will they ask to see a departure flight? Got the feeling if I fly back into BKK, they will try to give me a hard time for the most idiotic reasons even though I have a legit visa.

Please advise 🙏

Anyone successfully applied for a DTV visa under Muay Thai with this gym: Elite Fight Club Bangkok successfully? Anyone done it in Indonesia (hoping to go to Bali or Yogyakarta)? How long did you wait? Its the same gym Agency Issa Compass has proposed but I'm just gonna do it myself to cut half of the expenses.

Thanks

Got a documents request, what does it even mean and what I need to send them? Jakarta Embassy, Soft Power

“Other request documents: Please upload proof that shows your past muay thai experiences/interest”

Hi everyone! I have read through alot of the posts and I am a bit unclear about something. On the thaievisa website it recommended an embassy to apply at. My question is after submitted the online app on website, am I to then make and appointment at the recommended embassy or can I just show up? Also, I am doing Muay Thai, so I should be bringing all the relative documents from the gym to that in person visit? And as far as the 500,000 thaibaht proof of income, do they require a stamped and signed bank statement?

I have a US passport and I live in Mexico so naturally I will be going to the embassy in Mexico City. Anybody have experience with that embassy?

Thanks in advance!
