Do I have to attend every Muay Thai class if I apply through Muay Thai?

Hi. Has any spouse had a problem getting their DTV in Hanoi after their partner was approved for Muay Thai classes? Trying to decide if I should do a separate DTV for Muay Thai classes or can I save on the cost by getting a spouse visa? Advice appreciated 🙏

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone here got their DTV visa by being a Participant in "Soft Power" areas such as Muay Thai classes.

If so, please share the steps you took to get your DTV that way.

Thank you!

A couple of questions someone here could hopefully help with.

1) If I apply based on soft power, am I allowed to work remotely? If not, would you need to exit Thailand, go to an embassy and apply for a new DTV based on workcation?

2) For soft power, e.g. muay thai classes, do you need to have proof of being enrolled in a new class if entering via airport after the first course has ended?

Sorry I tried searching this group but was not able to find answers to these questions. Thank you.

Hello👋🏻 , m planning my first ever trip to thailand where i would preferably stay for a year at least as a remote worker ( I don’t make 2700$/month for a DTV ) , should i just go visa free for 90 days then leave and get a 90 visa for a total of 6 months ? Is there any better options ? I heard people take muai thai classes for a full year visa. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏🏻

So with all the 6 month cooking and muay thai classes, what happens after month 7, let’s say if you return to Thailand and immigration starts asking questions. Does one just continually renew those courses or take a risk? Because there isn’t anything on the visa itself that says how you qualified unless when they scan the QR code more info shows up. Thoughts ?

Are there any Indians here who have applied for DTV Soft Power from Jakarta? I'm planning to apply from Jakarta in the 1st week of April. How was your experience? Did they ask for "detail on sources of income"? Did you have 500k THB in your account for more than 3 months?

For context, my previous visa application was cancelled by New Delhi Embassy after additional documentation request about "sources of income" thing. I got no response to my calls and emails asking for the reason for cancellation. Unfortunately, I couldn't visit the embassy in person. ([members only]/)

I have been maintaining over 600k THB balance in my Indian bank account since March 6 and applying for DTV Soft Power with Muay Thai classes. Thanks to my stupidity, balance dipped just under 500k on March 5th because of auto-pay and currency fluctuations. I'm currently in Thailand and will be flying to Jakarta in April. I'd love to be back in Thailand before May with DTV.

Thinking about doing a class for a visa. Any suggestions on schools/classes?

Hello, I would like to know what is my best option do have a DTV ?

I am 30yo, do not have a work but have ~52 000 baht "income" everymonth.

Should I contact visa agency about my case ? I read many things on internet... dtv visa with muay thai... dtv with cooking lessons... dtv with dental treatment...

I really need a DTV visa because I almost got denied at the border ( too much visa exemption ) and I would like to live at least 50%/50% my country and thailand for my life.

About the other requirement, I have enough in my bank to meet their needs.

Thanks :)

I just got approved for DTV from Los Angeles and I wanted to share my experience.

Applied February 4th and got approved February 14th.

Applied under soft power and pre-paid muay thai classes for 9 months. This school had many branches and it was close to my condo. 9 months was the only length they had.

Provided only 1 month of bank statement. Drivers license for proof of residence in the US. Flight number but no proof of flight purchased required. Condo address in Bangkok but didn't have to show proof of a lease.

It was fairly easy. They didn't ask for any more info. Just be careful with the birthday. It kept changing on its own by one day or one year. Make sure you look at your birthday carefully on the last page before you submit. Also, I have a hyphen in my middle name and I thought I forgot to put it in the application. Make sure your name looks identical to your passport.
