I am not too sure what is the requirement for the Muay Thai Visa. Do I have to actually go train or just pay for the class is enough ? How long of a period do I have to train and will they ask me mutliple time to provide proof of training ? Thank you

Visa Approved..

In case it helps anyone, here is a timeline and info:

Flew to Phu Quoc, Vietnam (good option as we didnt need a visa), applied online through HCM.

Wed 6 Nov - submitted application for soft category Muay Thai.

Supplied:

-letter from muay thai gym

-their business and managment details

-receipt of payment for 1 month training

-proof of balance and statements

-passport and photo

-Vietnam accommodation booking and receipt (should have added the visa entry stamp to this doc...forgot 🙃)

Fri 8 Nov - Request for docs - 6 months bank statements, and location/visa stamp

Sat 9 Nov - supplied docs

Tues 12 Nov - Approved late at night

Partner applied same date, but for worcation. Supplied a work contract stating remote work, and the required 500k statements.

Was asked for 6 monhts of statements, and a letter explaining the work/role. Approved (same timeline as mine).

Phu Quoc's an easy option while waiting for the visa. Super friendly people, cheap and beautiful beaches 🙏

With all the concerns about immigration requesting an additional Muay Thai course on extension ( after 6 months)

I'm ( I own a muay thai gym) considering doing this (2nd document pack) for our customers for free ( well maybe an admin charge of 2 or 3k) if for some reason they didn't complete the 6 month course of 26 classes in the first 6 months.

Would this or something similar give applicants the confidence to go down the soft power route without fear of being stung for a second course?

Can you get a DTV for Muay Thai and then if you find a remote job (in a country that isn't) stop doing Muay Thai and keep the DTV?

Applying in UK for soft power Muay Thai. What document can I use to indicate my current location? I tried emailing but got no response

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had experience with the soft DTV from London / UK??

how many monthly statements did you need to provide for the 500k thb, and does the soft dtv also have the same income requirements as the full remote worker dtv?

I was considering an Ed visa for muay thai but this seems a much better option with multi-entry..

Just received my DTV went to Vietnam to do the process as I was already in Thailand.

Whole process took six days I opted for the Muay Thai training package. I went through muaythaiboxingvisa .com

Just had to upload bank statement and the documents from the Boxing camp. A friend of mine had already used them and was recommended to me and the service was very good and there are always on WhatsApp ready to answer any messages and questions.

You arrive in Vietnam I just had to send over pictures of the entry stamp and upload passport photo .

The Boxing option I think is good in that. You don’t have to give too much documentation to do with work as you will be in the country training and all you have to supply is bank statements. .

Is there a full list of everything we must submit when applying for a DTV Visa? I will go to Jakarta and apply in person nxt week. I will bring

* Passport copy

* Muay Thai gym receipt

* Muay Thai gym’s company registration + the owner’s passport + work permit

* Three months of my bank statements

* Two photo copies of my face

* Cash for the visa application fee (IDR 5,600,000)

* Proof of stay (Jakarta hotel booking)

Do I need anything else?

Also a big thank you to the admins and members, this group has been amazingly helpful.

Hello,

I am looking for some advice regarding applying for soft-power the Muay Thai training route for my DTV visa. I'll be applying at the nearest embassy within the next week or so.

I currently live in Hua Hin, however, I plan to move to Chiang Mai in the next month.

I can get my Muay Thai acceptance letter here in Hua Hin from a local gym and apply (outside nearest embassy) before I move to Chiang Mai. My question is, will this be an issue if I get my Muay Thai DTV visa from a gym in Hua Hin but I report for my 90-day report in Chiang Mai, I won't have a Hua Hin lease anymore, I'll have a Chiang Mai lease? I am aware this is all very new for everyone in this community and things are very fluid when it comes to Thai visas and regulations.

I just want to get people's thoughts if this will be an issue when I report for my 90 day report in Chiang Mai with an approved DTV Muay Thai acceptance visa from Hua Hin.

A lot of people move around the country quite often from one destination to the other. I just don't know if anyone has encountered something similar to this matter.

Waiting and applying from Chiang Mai with a local Muay Thai gym is also an option. I just want to get things set up the sooner the better, less things to take care of once I move to Chiang Mai.

Also, if anyone has any good gyms in Chiang Mai that you can recommend to get a DTV Muay Thai acceptance letter would be greatly appreciated.

I also researched this community's previous post and could not find any relevant information regarding my question, this is the reason for my inquiry.

Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

Stay safe and I wish everyone the best.
