What is the process for applying for a Thai tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh City?

 no you need to have signed up for a minimum of 6 months with a Muay Thai school, preferably longer, in order to apply for a DTV visa under the Muay Thai option. But if you intend to work remotely from Thailand you have to use the workation option
