Long stay Visas to train Muay Thai

[Lei]

My partner & I both want to stay in Thailand for a year for the sole purpose of training in Muay Thai.

 

We will have more than enough cash between us to support ourselves without needing to work which we will obtain from the sale of a property.

 

What we are not sure about is how to obtain Visas to stay for longer than the 30 days were are granted upon arrival. I'm struggling to understand exactly what needs to be done, especially seems Visa runs appear to have been clamped down on.

 

Is it possible to apply for a 1 year Visa from the UK? Or do we have to apply on arrival? How simple is the process?

 

Thanks.

Sounds good, you and your partner want to stay in Thailand for a year for the sole purpose of training in Muay Thai.

The 1-Year Multiple-Entry Non-Immigrant Thai visa is issued to foreigners who wish to obtain a long term visa stay to Thailand. The issuance of this visa mainly depends on the purpose of the application. This type of visa is valid for use within one year from the date of issue and can be extended to 3 months on or before the visa expiration date.

Thanks for the info.

 

We plan to travel about so how do we best obtain the following?

 

"An invitation or confirmation letter to clarify the purpose of travel issued by the concerned organization."

My guess is the gym needs to give you a confirmation letter stating that you've paid to train
