can you let me know where I say it was illegal for a foreigner to learn Thai massage? My original comment clearly says it’s restricted for foreigners to do massage work & to put it simply, you cannot get a visa for learning Thai massage. Simple as that.

Floyd the best option for you in your position, is to obtain the services of an agent. I’ve seen your comments previously, and normally no agents are required; but you’re struggling with just the basic input of the application, it would be beneficial in your case to obtain the services of one. Just my two pence. 🙏✌️

yes there may well be a massage center that offers the service, however this isn’t going to be any use in the support of a DTV or ed visa application.

restricted for foreigners to do massage work, so I very much doubt there’s a visa to support it.

in theory yes 😅 though we’ve all seen the reports of being questioned at passport control & being asked ridiculous amounts of questions, such as;

“Why didn’t you apply in your home country, why in Cambodia, Laos, etc”

“Can you show your paperwork you used for your application”

So whilst, you shouldn’t be asked for anything - I’d advise having the paperwork used for your application, at least saved to a device which you have access to at all times, just incase - they want to make your life a little harder as you enter.

****
you should be fine however, with no questions at all :)

It will work. Just make sure he has the required funds to sponsor the spouse application. Some embassies want to see 1M THB if sponsoring, compared to the normal 500K THB.

1. No there isn’t, but ensure you have sufficient savings amount. If you’re employed, put employed but be prepared to provide same proof as workcation too; payslips etc.

2. Departure date can be any date, but yes advise within 180 days.

3. Yes correct.

4. No, be honest -
****
they can see previous applications anyway.

5. depends on where you are applying from (if home country, use utility bill; if other country, can be visa entry stamp in passport, or hotel/airbnb confirmation)

6. A Spanish bank statement is fine, but if it’s in Spanish, translate it online, to English- people have been successful doing this method online.

7. it can be from the gyms which offer directly DTV support - be sure to use one who has proven approval rates to avoid refusals and loss of application fee. One i can remember off the top of my head, is Muay Thai Fever Gym - though this is located in Chiang Mai.

Please try to do some research into the group, I have answered every question of yours, but all the answers to your questions will already be in the group answered previously too.

Good luck.
