Hello,

I’m moving to Thailand to continue my Muay Thai career. I train out of Manop in Chiang Mai (I have trained there previously). I am certain that gym has all of the correct certifications to enable visa sponsorship. However, sponsorship is not advertised and Kru Manop takes cash payment on arrival rather than requiring booking.

After learning more about what is required, I am a little reluctant to trouble kru Manop for all the required documents, though when I asked for his help I offered to pay a fee. Would it be better to simply spend a month at a gym that already understands the visa requirements, even if it’ll cost me more, for the convenience before going to my preferred camp?

Thank you!

Can a gym certificated just from Ministry of Tourism and Sports make the letter to request the dtv visa?

I think they dont have the certifications for ministry of education

Just a heads up for people that want to apply for Soft Power Muay Thai option in Taipei. A receipt is not enough for confirmation. You need a letter from the gym showing when you will attend, the gym's muay Thai license, and company registration. Make sure you gym is certified by the Sports Authority of Thailand. The requirements on the site are not up to date. They will ask for 3 months of banking statements along with your income even if it's soft power. I hope this saves someone else time.
