The DTV Muay Thai Visa is a new type of tourist visa designed to make it easier for students of Muay Thai to train in Thailand long-term. With this visa, students can now come to Thailand and train with us at Chinnarach Muay Thai Boxing Camp in Koh Phangan for a full year!
How it works
The DTV Muay Thai Visa is for 180 days. At the end of the 180-day visa period, you can apply for a 180-day extension at the local immigration office in Koh Phangan. Which means that the DTV Muay Thai Visa, plus the visa extension, enables you to remain in Thailand and train with us for a total of 360 days (almost 1 year).
How to apply
To apply for the DTV Muay Thai Visa, you must be overseas (i.e. outside of Thailand) and you must apply through the Thai E-Visa Official Website (https://www.thaievisa.go.th/).
Before you apply, please read the Thai Government's User Manual on how to use the Thai E-Visa Official Website (https://www.thaievisa.go.th/static/English-Manual.pdf). This will guide you through the application process. After you have created an account on the Thai E-Visa Official Website, you will need to fill out the online application forms and also submit various documents. These documents include:
Photo of the biodata page of Passport
Passport photo of you taken within the last six months
Proof of your current address
Proof that you have no less than 500,000 baht (or the equivalent amount in your currency) in your bank account, e.g. pdfs of bank statements
Confirmation from the gym that you have booked and paid for your Muay Thai training in advance
To get the confirmation from Chinnarach Muay Thai Boxing Camp, first you need to pay for your 180 days training in advance. When you are ready to apply, contact us via email, we will provide you with an invoice for 48,000 baht to cover your training and our bank details. Once you have paid the invoice, and we have received it, then we will provide you with the following documents which you can use to complete your online application as part of point 5 above:
