sounds like an answer straight from ChatGPT, but also sounds good

Congratulations. How many days or months of gym package did you sent as proof of soft power activity?

but the DTV is promoted as being a visa for nomads. It’s their nature to frequently travel and switch countries.

Also, I just spoke to a Muay Thai gym that seems to help many people to obtain a DTV and they now think, Hanoi is more hasslefree than Ho Chi Minh City.

Isn’t Taipei changing to e-visa soon?

Anonymous participant you mean they asked for the business registration and ID of the owner of the Muay Thai school?

Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City?

You would think it’s straight forward but some people get rejected for no reason, even though they seem to have all necessary documentation. They have been told, a stamp is missing on a work certificate even though the requirements published on the embassy website do not state the necessity. Or some have been issued tourist visas instead of DTVs. Search this group for all these stories. Some cases are complicated. Passport from country A, bank account in country B, application in country C. If an agent “guarantees” the visa, you know where part of the “fee” goes to.

I tried with seaman’s book and ship contract, it’s not acceptable, because you work outside of the country and not remotely IN Thailand. If you are a seaman and got approved, please share the embassy and documentation provided.

Unfortunately it doesn’t count, even though crew are the real nomads. Go the soft power route instead.
