I’m sharing this post because I gained useful insights from this page. I applied for DTV - soft power skills related to Muay Thai in Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam.

Application Date: Thursday, January 9th

Approval Date: Thursday, January 16th

Gym Membership: 1 - month program

The day after my initial submission, I was asked to provide additional documents related to the Muay Thai gym, including their business registration and company profile. The request for these documents was back and forth, with a total of four requests to upload supporting documents. Without the assistance of the gym owner, who speaks excellent English as he is American, this process would have been extremely challenging.

Training at the gym is good, the gym is nice and clean and the coaches know how to teach and have fun at it.

If you’re looking for a gym in Bangkok that understands the documentation process and is very supportive, I highly recommend Tiger Eye Muay Thai (Tiger Eye MMA).

I recently applied for DTV under Muay Thai soft power and I applied under a gym in Bangkok for one month training. I’ve since moved to the Surat Thani area and am now training at a different gym with no relation to the one I originally applied under. Is there anything further I need to do and for my 90 day reporting will I need to go back up to Bangkok or can I do it from here in Surat Thani and it won’t affect anything in terms of my visa?

Just did my first reentry into the country since getting my DTV. My 180 days weren't up yet but I had a trip planned. I flew in from Tokyo, I was a bit nervous but immigration was a breeze. I'm on muay thai soft power and nobody made me do a spinning back kick before stamping me in! Happy to be back in the heat and back to training.

Hello, I am in Hong Kong with HKID. I am a Indian passport holder. I want to train muah thai in thailand for 2-3 months. From a google search, I see that I can get 14 days visa free entry with my passport.

If I go to apply for 2-3 months tourist visa on the thai website, I am asked for accommodations and acceptance of institute for the course I am taking.

I would like to get to Chiang Mai first, find what I like and train at that gym and find a condo.

I'd like to budget within 600-800 usd per month.

I want help and guidance on how to proceed.

Thanks!

I've been looking for a good Muay Thai class or school in Bangkok but many of them seem to be scamming me by overcharging, likely just to make the DTV Visa. Could you please recommend any good schools that offer affordable prices?

If you have been approved for a Soft Power activity for example Muay Thai .

Do you have to start the Muay Thai as soon as you get into Thailand 🇹🇭?

Or can you just start in a few months once you have settled in ?

About to go to Vietnam to start applying DTV - SOFT power skills.

I'm deciding between 2 gyms - 1 doing unlimited 1 month training and the other 1x training a day for 3 months. Both same price.

Question: 1. Is 1 month training sufficient for the DTV visa? 2. Did anyone recently apply got the visa with only 1 month training schedule?

PS: my preference is the 1 month unlimited training.

# DTV timing

Hello guys, I'm looking forward to get the DTV visa, but I'm unsure on how long will it take. Does anyone have a rough idea?

I'm from Spain and I'll ask the Madrid embassy.

I'd also like to ask if by doing 9mo muay thai will I get the 5years or do I need to apply again every time?

Thanks for the help.

Is there a list of all the programs/schools to get the DTV? 🙏

Ok, from my last post many people are recommending the DT visa when addressing Thai immigration not being happy with people using the visa exempt system too often. I mentioned we do not want to live n Thailand. We do not work in Thailand. And I am a didital nothing. So this leaves studying something as the only option to comply with the requirements of this visa category. I have no problems with this, I love learning new things. I would just like to ask others exactly what courses they have used to SUCESSFULLY meets this requirement? I appreciate your experiences and any help with this question.
