Anonymous participant which embassy are you applying at?

Anonymous participant I recommend you to mail the embassy, I have the screenshot from the embassy my friend applied which clearly states 'according to your passport, your name should Mei-Ying (with the -, no spaces in between names) and your family name should be Lin. Contact the embassy, my friend lost over 10k for such a mistake and even tho other embassies worldwide stated differently they claimed to do that way (besides of pointing out that the application CANNOT BE REFUND UNDER ANY CIRCOSTANCE).

watch you, mandarin folks DON'T HAVE a middle name. One of my friends got his visa cancelled cuz the put his second name as middle name. I believe you should type your whole name like this Mei-Ying in the given name.

if u go for short period of times u don't need any dtv. I have a friend who works in kl and he goes to thailand times a month on weekends (both bkk and phuket). He never got an issue with the immigration

I actually won't mind paying the "fees" to get the paperwork done but some schools have become greedy and charge 15k just for that... Wish I could find a cheaper one since I'm not really interested into muai thai

@Kool ******

some do but others claim their courses are tailored to get a DTV... It was the case of a gym who is rather small but claimed that had over 300+ people getting the DTV. Of course things are going to get more strict in the future but so far it seems working
