Destination Thailand Visa (DTV): Train Muay Thai and Stay Long-Term in Thailand

Thailand has introduced an exciting new long-term visa option for travelers, digital nomads, and cultural enthusiasts. The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), launched on July 15, 2024, allows foreigners to legally stay in Thailand for extended periods while participating in approved activities such as Muay Thai training.

This visa offers a five-year validity with multiple entries, allowing stays of up to 180 days per visit, with the possibility of extending your stay through the local immigration office. For anyone looking to train Muay Thai while enjoying life in Thailand, the DTV visa is a game-changer.

What Is the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)?

The DTV visa was created to promote Thailand’s culture, lifestyle, and “Soft Power” initiatives. Unlike traditional tourist visas, the DTV allows long stays and repeat entries over a five-year period, making it ideal for:

  • Muay Thai practitioners

  • Long-term visitors and travelers

  • Remote workers and digital nomads

  • Cultural and sports enthusiasts

One of the most attractive features of the DTV visa is the Soft Power category, which includes Muay Thai training programs offered by approved gyms in Thailand.

Muay Thai Training Under the DTV Soft Power Category

Muay Thai is recognized globally as one of Thailand’s most important cultural exports. Under the Soft Power category of the DTV visa, applicants can qualify by enrolling in an approved Muay Thai program.

We are proud to announce that Chor.Ratchawat Muay Thai now offers a DTV-qualified Muay Thai training program.

Once you enroll, you will receive an official letter of enrollment, which is a required document for your DTV visa application. This letter confirms your participation in a recognized Muay Thai course and supports your application through the Thai embassy or e-visa system.

Why Choose Muay Thai Training for the DTV Visa?

Choosing Muay Thai as your qualifying activity allows you to:

  • Train in an authentic Thai gym

  • Improve your fitness, discipline, and fighting skills

  • Immerse yourself in Thai culture

  • Stay legally in Thailand long-term

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced fighter, Muay Thai training provides structure, purpose, and cultural depth to your stay in Thailand.

DTV Visa Application Process and Requirements

To apply for the Destination Thailand Visa, you must apply from outside Thailand. Applications can be submitted either:
