Embassys are changing and looking for longer courses. When we did our first one (I own a muay thai gym) 10 private lessons got approved. But now increasingly they are looking for a 6 month course to match the 180 day stamp. If you submit a short course it could get by but there is a chance they could say you don't need a dtv a tourist visa will suffice. So to be on the safe side choose a longer course.

All know embassy staff are brutal buy i wonder what the person's thought process was when they casually said " you need to go to Nigeria!"

@Kelly *******

oh did I respond? I'm still getting a ton of enquiry sorry if it slipped by

@Kelly *******

this is one of the reasons my gym pulled out of marketing the DTV. Competitors are manufacturing consent and creating false realitys.

It's becoming a real cat fight and the customer looses out.

Gutted that means you going to be back in the gym playing mad rave music again!!!!

Just kidding well done mate. Boonlai fighting on 16th will you be back?

@Liza *****

usually 4 days but give a week to be comfortable

If in Thailand can post docs in addition to pdf but shouldn't need the hard copy. Always nice to have but not necessary

@Ian ******

good point I overlooked that. We had a great run with DTV used the money to improve the gym and sponsor fighters ... never intended to become office workers lol

Still do the odd one if we like the applicant

some will allow but some embassys will say if just one month you only need a tourist visa so be careful. best to get 6 months to match the 180 day stamp. We used to do muay thai visas and did a 1 day a week plan for 6 months. affordable and flexible. after you got the visa can do the 26 classes whenever you want.
