Hello everyone!

I hope you’re all doing well. My husband, my daughter, and I are planning to move to Thailand, and I’m currently applying for the DTV (Thai Soft Power) visa from France. I have a few questions about the process and would greatly appreciate your guidance:

1. For the Thai Boxing Club that I’m applying to as part of my DTV visa, should I pay the fees in advance, or is it enough to simply obtain an invitation letter from them at this stage?

2. Regarding the embassy fees, do I need to pay them once the visa is approved, or should I pay when submitting the application?

3. What is the minimum duration required for the activity? Is six months sufficient?

4. If I pay in advance and my visa application is denied, will the fees be refunded?

Also, if anyone has any general advice or recommendations for families moving to Thailand under the DTV visa, I’d love to hear them!

Thanks in advance for your help! ❤️

For the people who have successfully obtained their DTV via Muay Thai in Bangkok - can you please be kind enough to list the gym name?

Thank you,

How much did you guys pay for the soft activity program, muay thai, cooking class etc.. and what was the duration. Thank you

Hello, I am looking for a Muay Thai gym in Bangkok for DTV visa. Does anyone know a decent muay thai gym both provides documents and have real training?

Hi everyone, I'm planning to apply online for my DTV (soft power in Muay Thai) in Hanoi. Since the approval time is uncertain, will getting a one-way ticket cause any issues?

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Can anybody advice any verified MuayThai gym in Pattaya that has classes available for a DTV Visa application?

Anyone interested in learning Muay Thai Come study at my boxing gym. Ready to give advice about DTV Visa. I have all the documents for you. And 1 of my foreign students has received this visa. My boxing gym is in Bangkok. Welcome to Kru A Muay Thai Gym.

Considering the Muay Thai option.

Can you please recommend a gym that offers this... in KAMALA if possible.

Also, the cost.

Looking into options on the DTV.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about Muy Thai but non answering my question say I do 6 month course do I need to renew and keep going for the whole duration of my stay

* after 180 Days upon re entry or renewal of visa at immigration will I need a renewed membership for muy Thai gym?

* is there a mandatory amount of time or classes I have to attend ?

* what if I decide I don’t like that gym and decide to switch locations?

If you are not interested in taking Muay Thai classes, do you think dancing classes would count for soft power?
