Hello, would you know a Muay Thai gym in Pattaya that can provide me with a letter of invitation for the DTV ?

Hope this info helps someone. I received my DTV successfully a few days ago from the Thai embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia (took 4 days) using Muay Thai Fever Gym in Chiang Mai (B15,000 for 6 months -1 private lesson per week[or fewer months if you choose to have more lessons a week, I guess]). Derry (the gentleman who does the admin) turned out to be extraordinarily thorough in doing the paperwork; he provided everything necessary and the embassy only looked at a few of the documents. The gym also has champion 🏆 instructors, really really positive people and very good equipment. 👍 10 mins from Nimman Hemin Rd.

Jakarta was full of really nice and friendly people who bent over backwards to make sure I was OK/happy; people in the embassy, restaurant workers, taxi drivers, kids in the street saying hello to me and giving me hi 👋 5's. Only downside was the pollution. It was also very cheap to stay there. I stayed at 'Ameera Inn' for 6 days (B2,000).

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?

Up date on my Ethiopian applicant. ( were a muay thai gym)

Phnom Phen indicating they will accept him.

I am posting this anonymously because I own a Muay Thai gym and I want to respect the groups rules and I am not trying to promote my gym.

Here is my question. Why on earth are people getting agents? Some of these agents are charging exorbitant fees - what are they charging for? The requirements seem pretty straight forward and this visa seems ridiculously easy to apply for.

Someone contacted us and gave me a list of documents they required which sounded off because we have done many DTV applicants and they never asked for some of these docs, then they told me the agent was asking for them and when I found out how much the agent was charging my jaw dropped.

We got out DTV in Jakarta! 3 day turn around time. Here is what we submitted:

* Passport

* Letter from Muay Thai gym (I signed up 1 month membership and the owner created a letter to submit to embassy. For those of you lookin for Muay Thai class in Bangkok, I would highly recommend Tiger Eye Martial Arts.

(www.facebook.com/YourTigerEye) Just 1 month membership got me 5 year DTV and owner is super nice and professional. They also offer yoga classes too if you don't want to do muay thai.

* 1 month bank statement

* Application with 2 passport photos

That was it! I'm not sure with this new evisa thing but we just walked in without an appointment. My wife also received DTV visa with her passport, marriage certificate and application (no bank statement.) I hope this information is helpful!

anyone know how many months does hong kong thai embassy needs you to pay to the muay thai gym to apply for dtv visa?

The VISA is new, but has anyone tried soft power yet? Any info on maybe getting a memo from a muay thai gym or maybe a hospital? IM me if any good tips please

Hi, kindly need your recommendation for muay thai class that can offer visa ED near Bangkok Area. Thank you

Good morning Community!

I'm currently staying on a visitor Visa in Chiang Mai.

I'm planning to get a student visa through Chiangmai Muay Thai Gym, so the million-dollar question: can I get a student visa Stamp on one day trip to Laos, or do I have to fly to Ho Chi Minh?

ขอบคุณ thank you🙏🙏🙏
