Hello everyone,

Hello 👋

I’m currently preparing my application for the DTV Soft Power visa with a Muay Thai school. The school told me that my profile could be considered “high risk” for rejection because they can only issue a 6-month training program, and immigration authorities assess the credibility and consistency of the applicant’s plan. They also mentioned that while it’s technically possible to leave Thailand earlier than planned, it would be at my own risk and not recommended.

The thing is, my plan is not to stay continuously. I’d like to come and go, staying 2 to 4 months at a time over the 5-year period.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Could I run into issues when re-entering Thailand if I don’t follow the initial training plan strictly?

Also, do you know of any more flexible schools — especially in Koh Samui — that are used to this kind of setup?

Thanks a lot for your help!
