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.

Best Muay Thai / Boxing school for DTV in Bangkok?

Thinking of applying for DTV under soft power (muay thai).

A school told me before ppl could get away with just 3 month courses, now 6 is not even enough, hence they offer only 9 month courses .... The school is called FitFac and is quite big. I doubt they would want to scam me like that. Wyt folks?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a Muay Thai Gym in Bangkok, preferably around Phrom Phong to Phra Khanong that can supply the documents for DTV. I wanted to go with KruDam in Sukhumvit Soi 36 but they have informed me they aren't doing DTV.
