Hi all , my family of four including me , are planning a years stay in Thailand next year, can anyone advise what visa we will need and how much it will cost please
Hi! I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), Soft Power – Muay Thai, while living in Pattaya. Could anyone who has actually applied via Pattaya gyms share your experience?
• Which gyms did you use? (name + location + manager contact)
• What package length worked for the visa: 6 or 9 months? Is 12 months worth it?
• Price: I’m seeing around 35–40k THB for 6–9 months — does that match your experience?
• Did the gym provide a full visa pack: Acceptance letter on letterhead + DBD (company registration) + SAT/Office of the Boxing Sport certificate + invoice? Will they email the letter directly to the consulate if requested?
• After approval, did they require attendance, or was enrollment/payment enough in practice?
• Any refusals/refunds? What were the refund terms?
• Which consulate did you use (HCMC, Vietnam or elsewhere), and did everything go smoothly?
• How long is the acceptance letter valid (can you defer the start if timing shifts)?
Would really appreciate short reports including: submission/approval dates, gym, price, package length, consulate, and whether you attended classes. Thanks!
Hi, I’m Iranian. I came to Bangkok one month ago on a tourist visa to look for a way to get a longer-term visa.
Someone suggested the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) to me.
I know I have to leave Thailand to apply, but as an Iranian, which country should I go to — Laos, Vietnam, China, or somewhere else?
How long does the whole process take?
While the application is being processed, can I return to Iran, or do I have to stay in the country where I submit the application?
Also, is a personal interview required, or can everything be done online?
How much does the visa process cost in total?
And finally — is Bangkok a good place to live for now, considering that I don’t have a job yet and I just want to apply for a visa so I can later find work there?
A visa agent told me that the class alone would cost 26,000 bhat, though attendance optional. So I would have to pay the school this amount every year for the five year DTV visa?
