We had a customer ( I run a muay thai gym) use Paris

It took 45 days! Longest yet so expect a wait

Yep we do 6 months courses and have done 125 now

15,000 baht

I own a muay thai gym

@Roman *******

LA is pretty smooth to deal with but I think it's a 30 day wait if I remember correctly

@Dave *********

there are options to just train hitting pads and bags. Don't have to spar if don't want to.

It's still fun

@Dave *********

yes we had that issue too. 45 days I think

@Costas **********

my customer was there Friday

He's retiring from the US army but they asked for proof of ongoing work contract... but he's leaving the army. Anyway he managed to swing it but they gave him a run around

@Benjamin ********

surely a gym owner who shows an intent to assist his visa customers should further courses be required is better than a gym owner who exploits the situation to his own advantage.

But yea your right and it was clearly stated, we don't know for sure.

As it stands you just need the one course which gets you a 5 year visa

There are rumors that immigration might ask for further courses when the course expires but that would be a massive betrayal and a can't see it happening but you never know for sure.

As it stands we ( I run a gym) are not asked to report attendance or monitor students in any way. So I guess you can go and train somewhere else no problem.

The only area where Ed visa has an advantage is that yiu don't need 500k in the bank to apply

Everything else is s bad deal.

1 year over 5 years

Approx 60k a year over 30k for 5 years

Strictly monitored classes with no flexibility

Need a reentry permit and permission from school to travel

I think DTV has basically replaced Ed visa

Go to the UN Irish pub every other guy claims to be MI6 or CIA 5555

Just kidding
