Concerning the DTV: I'm in America, and the Muay Thai organization has packaged their letters and sent them to me. The letter states that I want to start training in June. On the Thai Embassy visa application, it asks for the flight information and hotel/accomodations information. They ask that entry should be within 3 months and not longer.

I have not purchased a flight or reserved a hotel yet, so my visa application is in saved mode. My bank has issued to me a written statement for required funds, dated April 11. My question is can I delay my return to Thailand until September? If I delay the application, will my bank and the Muay Thai class need to change their dates? If I book the flight for June and reserve a hotel, then apply and get approved, can I cancel the flight, change the flight date to September, will I still have a valid DTV 4-5 months from now? It is possible for me to leave here in July, or earlier, but I have a financial opportunity that's difficult to put aside. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hello everyone 👋

I had my soft power dtv (Muay Thai) approved end of last year, have entered the kingdom once since then for just under 90 days and completed the Muay Thai sessions that I’d pre paid-for as part of my dtv application, which was in Phuket.

My next visit to Thailand will be in July and I’ll likely be staying in hua hin, where I plan to continue Muay Thai training.

Seeing as I no longer have any pre paid sessions, and will be training in a different gym to the one I applied for my dtv with. Am I breaking any rules or creating any risk of not being granted entry in July?

Great to hear from anyone with experience of a similar situation 🙏

DTV Muay Thai: Must you train at the gym you receive the letter from? I know it sounds straight forward, but I’ve heard different things.

I have been training and fought Muay Thai for years.

I have friends currently everywhere from Chiang Mai to Phuket. Some using DTV. Of those none of them train at the gym their visa is from.

The reason for my question is: I see a lot of people going through gyms that are not reputable for serious competitors (more for fitness/tourist appeal) and I don’t want to be tied to training there.

I don’t mean any disrespect, everyone has different goals. I just want to do my due diligence.

hello

My grandson in pattaya His Muay Thai training camp gave him a 6-month registration certificate to give to immigration. To get the 6 months visa, they tell him to go abroad (Vietnam, Burma, Laos)

Can you tell me what is best for him and how to go there at the lowest cost (from Pattaya) and what price for the visa

Thanks for your answers

Bonjour

Mon petit-fils est à Pattaya. Son camp d'entraînement muay thai lui a donné un justificatif d'inscription pour 6 mois à donner à l'immigration. Pour avoir le visa de 6 mois, on lui dit d'aller à l'étranger (Vietnam, Birmanie, Laos)

Pouvez-vous me dire ce qui est mieux pour lui et comment y aller à moindre coût (à partir de Pattaya) et quel prix pour le visa

Merci pour vos réponses

DTV Visa Soft Power application approved in Jakarta in just 4 business days!

I am really thankful for people sharing their experiences here.

Arrived in Jakarta on 3rd April.

Application submitted with payment on 4th April.

Received visa on 10th April.

Documents I submitted:

Current Location Proof:

Entry Stamp Sticker, EVOA, Stay Permit PDF, and Airbnb Screenshots.

Financial Evidence:

Bank statement of my savings account of last financial year ending in March (700k+ THB balance for 1 month, balance was less than 100k THB most of the time before that), and exchange rate and bank balance screenshots of the day of submission.

Proof of Activity:

1 year Muay Thai course from Fight EVO360 in Pattaya. They were really quick in providing with updated documents once my application was cancelled in New Delhi in March.

Hello everyone, Has anyone received a DTV visa for Muay Thai course, Thai cooking training or Medical treatment? If so, could you please give me some details? I am thinking of contacting the agency for one of these if you can advise me. Thank you very much

On the 29th of April I will with my family fly from

Phuket to Bali and apply for the DTV under the soft power Muay Thai.

I found a Muay Thai gym here after a recommendation from someone in this group 🙏🏽

They will provide me the correct paperwork for a 6 month course (1x a week, so enough time to keep training at our regularly gym).

I do have a few questions, that I not seem to find the answer to when I use the search feature. So hopefully someone will be kind enough to help answer them 🙏🏽:

1. What date should be put in the invitation letter, would this be the date that I want to start the course?

The gym asked me to give them the correct date for the letter.

2. I will apply online to the Jakarta embassy, would I say this to the gym for the letter as well or does the embassy in Jakarta have a specific name?

3. How do I get the passport stamp in Bali when entering?

I was there a few weeks ago, but we went through the electronic checkpoint, so no stamp was issued.

4. I don’t work at the moment, but I get enough benefits per month from my home country and extra every 3 months, would that be an issue (not working)?

I plan on getting back to work online once we get settled, I do have over 500.000 thb in funds, so that won’t be an issue.

5. When I get the DTV approved and apply for my kids as dependents, would the costs also be 10.000 thb each for them?

Can’t seem to find anything about that.

I've been applying from the UK for a Muay Thai DTV and have been asked to go to the Embassy for an interview. Has anyone had this experience? All my documents are in place and everything was sent to them as requested.

Hi. I want to Apple for the DTV. I spoke to a MuayThai school and they can do it. It includes 15 Lessons in the first 6 month. But they we're Not able to Tell me whats necessary after the 6 month.

Do I still have to Take Lessons? How many? Do i need to prove this?

Thank you

I am an Indian passport holder. Can I go to Thailand Visa free for 60 days and then go to Laos or Hanoi to apply for DTV visa?

I heard I can only apply for DTV visa from my home country. Is it true or false for an Indian?

In case I can apply outside of my home country, Do I still need to get the latest bank statement stamped from my bank along with the financial reference letter?

What are the other documents I need to prep from within my home country?

PS. I will be applying through the workcation route and my goal is to train Muay thai.
