yeah a friend is going a few weeks ahead of me (we’re both doing the Muay Thai option, same gym), so she can find out exactly which documents are required from the gym and I’ll have them ready ☺️

What exactly do they mean when they ask for ‘all thai visa’s received’? My first Thai visa is from 2004, I don’t even remember what visa’s I have had since then?? Let alone have the passports and stamps to show them??

I saw this website, not sure how accurate it is, but according to them not every country is eligible for DTV and especially a lot of African countries (including Ethiopia) are excluded.

TM30 is voided when you leave the country. You need it to extend a visa, as a proof or address, but not to apply for a new visa.

A Czech guy arrived at the gym I train at with a DTV based on soft power Muay Thai and the owner of the gym told me the embassy in Prague even called her to ask about his training schedule and to check if he really had booked training. They also interviewed him. But he got the DTV 😏

2 years ago a Czech friend applied for the METV in Prague and that was also a huge, long, cumbersome process.

I opened an account a month ago on an ED visa which I got through my language school. Don’t believe everything an agent tells you 😏

I don’t think they’ll have access to all this information. But I have seen posts on this where some embassies do a more thorough investigation. Good to know Hanoi is happy with just business license ☺️

@Kaia *****
did you provide all those documents too or just a confirmation letter and business registration? (From what I understand #4 is only needed for an ED visa, not DTV. But it probably also differs per embassy if they require this)
