Approved 😀

Thank you to this group for providing such valuable information!!!! To pay it forward, here's how my application went.

Applied in HCM on Wednesday 15/01 around 8PM for Muay Thai DTV

Had a quick look on Friday 17/01 and saw status moved to pending approval

Was getting a bit nervous today (business day #5) as I didn't want to be stuck here for Tet. Emailed the consulate this morning (no reply) and called them at 4:30PM (30 minutes before closing). The lady on the phone said my application would be approved today or tomorrow, I asked her if it please can be today and she said she'd speak to the consul.

40 minutes later (5:10PM) I got the approval email.

Documents:

Proof of location: pdf with a picture of entry stamp, boarding pass, hotel booking and Vietnam visa

Financial: Savings account 01/07/2024 - 15/01/2025 (day of application), there was well over THB500K in the account for the entire period. I gave them monthly statements with all transactions and beginning/end amounts (Dutch bank, did not translate the statements)

Muay Thai:

* letter of endorsement

* letter of enrolment (8 months training, start date, also stating I had paid 1 month ahead and will be living in the gym)

* training schedule

* gym business registration

* sports authority registration

* house book gym

* house book gym owner

* ID (back and front) gym owner

Form

Home address: hotel in HCM

Permanent address: gym in Thailand

Thai address: gym in Thailand

Employment: unemployed (I'm actually a freelancer but between contracts so technically not lying)

My background

November '21 - July '23 countless visa exempts, a few tourist visa's, extensions, border runs and (remember those?) 2 COVID extensions

July '24 - now ED visa + 1 ED extension (did not get a re-entry stamp when I left last week), visa I got through a language school

I genuinely train at the gym, have been since 2018, it's a relatively small, family-owned gym that only does DTV for people who will actually attend training (so unless you're willing to do so, don't ask which gym it is 😉)

Flying back tomorrow, will update this post to let you know how immigration went (Phuket).

For those with success visas via Muay Thai gyms - did your gym provide a certificate of from the Ministry of Education and Board of Boxing along with your application to the Thai consulate that you are applying to? What documents other than the “letter of acceptance” to the gym was provided ?

Hi guys I am hoping to get some help/advice.

My boyfriend wants to do a Muay Thai Visa in Pattaya or Phuket.

He is in Australia now and wants to come here as soon as possible.

The immigration in Australia offers student visas so he would like to choose Muay Thai as his course.

We can’t find anything about a list of Muay Thai gyms that offer the training through an education visa.

We don’t want to pay for the agency as it is costly and it is only a few hundred dollars for him to do it from Australia.

Does anyone know this process or have any experience doing the Muay Thai Visa?

Thanks for your help in advance. Please comment or inbox me 😊

I have obtained my ED Visa for Muay Thai in Chiang Mai through these chaps. The whole thing was a doddle. If you decide you want to an ED Visa, I cannot recommend them more highly.
