U got denied cuz u applied for a 5 yrs visa with a single month course of Muay Thai instead of 6. There was no need to use an agency, u just had to do your homework before applying. I wonder how come this page has turned into dozens of anonymous posts recommending agencies, it feels like someone is trying to promote those
Depends on the embassy, some are ok with the money put in the account a day earlier, some require 3 months, some 6. Just ring or mail the embassy you intend to apply at
