The basics

What is the DTV?

The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is Thailand's 5-year, multiple-entry visa for remote workers and people joining Thai soft-power activities, including Muay Thai training. Each entry lets you stay up to 180 days, extendable once.

Training at a recognised gym counts as a qualifying activity. That's where we come in: enrol in a long-term program at Wildcat and we provide the paperwork your application needs.

How it works

I just got a DTV soft power visa after booking with this Muay Thai school. Meaw, the owner, is very professional; she provided me with all the necessary documents quickly, and the whole process went very smoothly. I highly recommend it.
