How can I obtain an educational visa for Muay Thai training in Thailand?
Lynnette *******
I may be wrong but didn't think Muay Thai was "educational". Maybe DTV would be a better route? Valid 5 years, 180 days each entry.

Is 25,000 baht for the O-A visa assistance with Baan Thai Immigration Solutions a reasonable fee?
Lynnette *******
@William ********
 they can't get an O-A in country though. All the documentation has to be obtained in the applicants home country so using an agent seems pointless.

How does the Non-O visa activation date work upon entry into Thailand?
Lynnette *******
@Gregory *******
 the first time I looked at "visas" many years ago ( 14! ), I was a bit naïve about the validity of visa and permitted stay. Mostly because people call their "entry/permitted stay" the visa, which it actually isn't. At least people can now come on pages like this to get clarification.
