ORIGINAL POSTER

I would like to see if I can get a soft power Muay Thai, DTV. 

I have been training for a few months now and been doing border run, but a DTV might be better if I would like to continue.

There is only one question that I can seem to get an answer to….

I travel with to t(w)eens whom are being unschooled. 

How would it work for the kids if they don’t attend school?

Would it even be possible for me to get such DTV?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual is inquiring about obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand while traveling with unschooled tweens. The response indicates that the DTV visa applicant must be at least 20 years old, but the children can be considered dependents regardless of their schooling status. The DTV application process would require the primary applicant's approval first before applying for the children's visas.

I don't completely understand your question. Are you travelling with your children?

Minimum age to get dtv as main applicant is 20 years old. So if the tweens are your children, then you can get them their own dtv as a dependant. You'll need to be approved for your dtv first, then apply for each of them (copy of your dtv visa, birth certificate etc). Whether the kids attend school or not is irrelevant to dtv application.

Or do you mean they are not attending muay thai school. When applying as dependants (children, spouse) they dont need to prove any activities as you are sponsoring them with your dtv visa

Anonymous participant 866 they are indeed my children ☺️

My kids also train, but I don’t want them to feel obligated to because of a DTV, so that’s why I would apply for the DTV for me and want them to be add as a dependant

Anonymous participant oh in that case, super easy for them to get their own dtv as dependants. I did it for both my kids. Dependant application just needs a birth certificate and your bank statement of 500k (same statements can be used for each child application). You'll need to write a sponsor letter stating you'll cover them financially.

Do factor in a lot of time overseas for the whole family. Your application may take 1-2 weeks, then once approved apply for theirs which is another 1-2 weeks. Highly recommend doing it in the same country. I got mt dtv approved I'm hcmc and then my kids in taipei- taipei was fussy about why I didn't apply in the same place

Does enrolling my teenager in a Muay Thai school qualify for a Thai DTV, or do I need to enroll myself?
