yea it's possible to get without all documents but to be totally sure and to tick all the boxes best use a gym with the full set of docs

The Ed visa gyms are loosing business so trying to monopolies things by putting out false information

You definitely don't need a registered school. Proof is us, 50 done and not a school

that's actually not sports authority license that's the board of boxing sport. It's a sub department of the sports authority. It should serve the same purpose and will be accepted but it's different to the sports authority of Thailand gym license

I have done 50 muay thai visas from my gym in chiang mai. We are not a registered school with the ministry of education. But the schools that are registered are trying to tell people it's a requirement in order to monopolize and compensate for loss of ed visa buisness, but that's not true.

You definitely need sports authority of Thailand gym license. Board of Boxing Sport A License is often requested and ministry of education skills development certification is a bonus. The gym should also be a Ltd company.

Your average gym will have sports authority license and maybe A License but only the big gyms are Ltd company

We have the lot and never failed on soft power paperwork although 1 guy failed on bank statements

We have done 4 at PP now ( muay thai gym) at first, when DTV began they were refusing the applications outright but seem to be ok now.

yea good point. The Ed visa is usually expensive though and limited choice of gyms.

Good luck though I've been training, fighting and living in Thailand for 30 years now.

Working online in Thailand but with a company outside of Thailand and not effecting thais in any way has always been a Grey area. It's technically illegal but most definitely tolerated. The muay thai visa is currently easier to secure than the nomad one. Just use a gym which is a Ltd company and registered with the government

My muay thai school has done 4 from London. No problem but took about a week.

We have found that a few embassy were accepting non soft power activity such as scuba diving, self defense initially but slowly they have began to gravitate towards insisting its a soft power activity. I run a muay thai school and have processed 50 so far.

My gym (Muay Thai Fever) are doing DTV fairly and professionally

You cant judge all for the actions of one if you are a reasonable person
