@Tainui *******

If Fairtex is offering it, then it is by far the best choice on the list I am aware of.

I'll answer one part of your question.

The best Muay Thai places don't offer visas. They are focused on building fighters and their fight teams and don't have the capability for that kind of headache.

Of the schools that I know that do offer Ed visas. Luktupfah may be the best one.

If you have zero experience in martial arts, the first three months at these ED visa schools will be OK.

And yes, my opinion matters. I work at the highest level of the combat sports industry in the region.

I came to train Muay Thai the first time in 2005

@John *********

don't they give you like 7 days to get a new visa?

@John *********

I'm on an extension, I do not want to have to leave the country

Thais have to deal with the same beaucracy and headache in their own lives. For house registrations, taxes, business etc.

@Tod ********

office, you mean, immigration office?

@Tod ********

will that count as a "break" for PR purposes?

Is there any reason for sad face? Is that something that is unclear?

@Tod ********

does that need to be done on the same day?

@Ellie ******

i understand. Which one is first BTW? Work permit or Visa?
