The DTV carries a 5-year validity, which is broken down over 180-day increments/ extensions.  


The DTV is a multiple-entry visa, meaning you can exit/re-enter Thailand as often as you like without the need of a re-entry permit.

You can apply with any Thai embassy, although each embassy may have slightly different application requirements, so please check their website before applying. Please note that the DTV can NOT be obtained inside of Thailand.

You don’t have to prove your income, however, you will have to prove that you have a minimum of 500,000 baht saved in a bank account. The bank account can be in any country, it doesn’t have to be in Thailand. Having some sort of passive income like rental income, disability payments etc, can help make your application stronger.

We understand that different embassies may require different documents. Typically we will provide you with your course invitation letter and receipt. However, if you wish we can provide the additional documents: Company Registration, Proof of Muay Thai Gym Registration, Photos of training facility, ID copies of gym owners. If you have any additional unique requirements please check with us and we will do our best to provide you with those as well.

If you are based overseas we prefer payment via bank transfer or WISE app. If you are currently in Thailand, you can pay by cash, card or QR code.

If the DTV application is rejected, you can choose to either take a partial refund, or you can retry at another Thai embassy. We will issue new documents at no additional charge if required. If documents need to be sent by post, that would be the applicant’s responsibility. If the applicant wishes for a refund they must show evidence that the application was rejected because of the of the documents issued by Tiger Eye, and not a result of not fulfilling the other clear requirements i.e the proof of funds. We will not issue refunds in cases of any package whose value is less than the 6 month unlimited package. In the case of regular 6 month packages and above we will refund everything minus a document fee (5,000 baht).

Everyone started as a beginner at some point. We have beginners join us all the time. We pride ourselves on offering authentic Muay Thai and MMA training in an environment where everyone feels welcome and everyone learns and gets better. Once you start training you will quickly find out that you can train alongside people of many different levels and everyone is getting something out of training.

Many of our students have joined us with varying injuries/physical difficulties and have done well. We will make sure our coaches are aware and mindful of your situation before you begin the course, so we can adapt your study accordingly.Can you take the payment for the DTV application fees too? We can only accept the course and documentation fees, all other application fees must be paid directly to the Thai embassy.

As of May 2026, most embassies accept courses less than 6 months. However, there are an increasing number of embassies that require 6 months and sometimes even minimum 9 months course. When consulting with us we can advise you which embassies are require what level of commitment. At Tiger Eye we understand it is not always realistic to pay for long periods of training in advance. We state that all fees paid are a DEPOSIT and is stated as such in our documents. Even if you were to commit to training with Tiger Eye for 5 years, it would be reasonable to pay only a deposit first. If you do a 4-year university degree, you do not pay for all 4 years upfront. You pay a semester at a time. We will be straightforward with the most up to date information regarding embassy requirements.

There are no minimum study requirements, you’re welcomed to train as often or as little as you wish.
