DTV Approved today via Jakarta

Soft Power Muay Thai

- Sat Feb 15 submitted Application

- Mon Feb 17 processing documents

- Wed Feb 19 changed to pending approval in the morning, then approved by 6:00 p.m. same day

DOCUMENTS:

- Photo of passport + digital selfie

- Documentation + schedule from Muay Thai gym

- 6 months of bank statements, over 500K TB

- Photo of entry stamp in passport for Indonesia + photo of boarding pass

- Booking confirmation, address and phone number of local Indo accommodation

Used iLovePDFs to consolidate all the documentation

NOTE of encouragement for older women:

I'm almost 60 years old and was a bit concerned about applying via Muay Thai.

I asked the gym owner if he had any women members over 55.

In fact he has quite a few including a woman who is 79 so this was very encouraging for me.

I'm really looking forward to learning Muay Thai!

Initially I was going to pay an agent to help process the visa but I'm very glad that I did this myself.

Thank you to all the thoughtful members who have shared their experience to help others

Good Luck Everyone, Cheers

Muay Thai Fever, 6 month schedule to start. When you purchase your gym membership/lessons, the gym will provide you with every document you need already consolidated into one single PDF 🙂 You only need to provide a copy of your passport and contact details to the gym so that they can put together your package - after making payment. Was very simple and straightforward. They have a ton of experience so are very professional and efficient.

Congrats, ..there was a report of a couple in their 70s doing Muay Thai on the DTV.. Age is just a number, your mindset way more important!
