Requirements for a DTV Visa for the purpose of training Muay Thai?

• Biodata page of Passport or Travel Document
• Photograph taken within the last six months
• Document indicating current location
• Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter
• An invitation letter from Khao Lak Muay Thai to confirm enrollment in Muay Thai training

*You must show that you have enough liquid assets to support yourself during your extended stay in Thailand. The minimum for this is 500,000 THB, but as you must apply for this visa from outside of Thailand, the embassy or consulate you apply through may demand to see a higher amount and will have their own set of criteria for how much evidence is required to demonstrate this.
