Everything has changed a lot based on our experience; our supporting documents have increased from 10 pages to almost 20 pages.

and each embassy requires a very specific documents.

We are sorry about your rejected visa with our package (we are the one offering the 9-month package).

Right now, the only reason we can think of for your rejection is that in your first attempt, you used an unaccredited Muay Thai gym, which resulted in a rejection and raised a red flag with the embassy staff, even though you did everything correctly the second time.

We have encountered the same issue with people who applied for a workcation visa the first time and were rejected. When they applied with us the second time, they were also rejected — even though 99% of our clients get their visas without any problems.

We assume that the embassy is now reviewing past applicant records when processing DTV applications. People who were rejected the first time are likely to be rejected the second time, even if they do everything correctly.

In your case, we would advise you to wait about 4–6 months and apply again from your home country. You could also consider other accepted routes, such as enrolling in a cooking school.

DTV is much better than Ed visa.

you can rent a condo for 3 months(the price per month will be higher - you just need to find a good agent that are willing to negotiate the term for you.

apply in your own country is much easier

1. 80,000 THB per month would be a good starting point

2. print out is enough

3. If you apply to thai embassy in brazil then no need to translate.

4. pdf version is accepted.
Fitfac *****************
It depends on the gym or cooking school.

At FITFAC, we offer a 100% refund if your visa application is rejected.

We also accept PayPal, so your payment is protected under PayPal’s Buyer Protection Policy.

Historically, we’ve only had five rejection cases(from 350 cases) all due to issues such as:

The applicant misspelled their name, or

Used cryptocurrency-related documents as proof of financial support.
Fitfac *****************
We currently have no issues with the embassy. The gym you are talking to probably get banned from the embassy righ now because they accept too many high risk applicant.

At fitfac we do not accept applicant from high-risk countries such as China, Myanmar, or India

Fitfac *****************
some embassy staff don’t check the list thoroughly and approve the visa right away, while others have specific staff assigned to carefully review it.

The policy varies from embassy to embassy, as the Thai government gives each one full discretion to process and approve visa applications independently, without needing to consult the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—except in cases involving watchlisted applicants from certain countries.

In this case, I wouldn’t call it a scam — it was simply a matter of luck that he got approved.
