Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV (Soft Power – Muay Thai) visa in Hanoi, Vietnam on July 6.

I have a question regarding my bank statement, which is in Chinese.

Do I have to use a Vietnamese translation company to translate it into English,

or is it acceptable to use a certified translation company in China instead?

Has anyone had experience with this situation?

I’d really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

I apply dtv from jakarta with 6 month muay thai tiger eye

applied 23rd morning

still pending document check

Any one knows if after rejection of DTV Muay Thai visa in Jakarta i can apply from Laos immediately?

The embassy now requires the Soft Power center to send a confirmation letter directly to the embassy’s email.

So, if you’re applying for a visa through an agent, make sure you also contact the Muay Thai or cooking school directly to ensure the email is sent.

We believe this is a measure by the embassy to combat photoshopped documents created by some agents who exploit the DTV visa process.

We also expect that the embassy will increasingly require supporting documents to be sent directly to the embassy email from the relevant 3rd party email.

Does it require a cover letter or motivation letter for soft power category (MuayThai)?

I'm planning to apply for my visa through Hanoi office in a couple weeks. Wondering if anyone was called in for an interview? I would like to leave the city if possible. I'll be applying under soft power- muay thai.

I am applying for a soft power DTV visa for a Muay Thai school in Bali.

If I return to Thailand during the application process, what will happen to the visa I am currently applying for?

I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to return to Thailand.

So anyone have made a visa with an agent ? I want to apply for the dtv visa and i want to take an agent to make it for me he is doing it for 9 months he tell me can i trust them ? He tells me he will apply for me via cooking classes (i wanted to try via muay thai) but he told me many rejections by muay thai so should i trust it ? They ask 1000 euro for all costs of process and documents

I've read many posts from everyone and it's very helpful information thank you. One thing that I'm not clarified on is how many of you go or try to apply for the 5 year DTV? Lots of you get the Thai e-visa from Vietnam, or Jakarta, etc (congrats for those that got it!)

I am temporarily unemployed but I have money saved up and some gifts coming in from family. I'm a U.S citizen and I'm wondering if a longer-term Muay Thai visa would work, like if I paid for 3 months with a gym and made sure I have the 500k+ Bhat minimum for 3 months.

I'm sure this question has been asked multiple times so I apologize!

My visa was approved today.
