Thailand has announced a unique visa scheme catering specifically to foreigners seeking Muay Thai training within the country.
This initiative allows martial arts enthusiasts to extend their stay from the standard 60 days to an extended period of 90 days.
The Now Muay Thai website platform aims to streamline the process of finding affordable classes and credible trainers. You can filter your search for a class by area, level, duration and rating score.
You can book and make payment via the website, though refunds are applied for via the Facebook page.
Whether applicants will have to apply for the actual visa through their local Thai embassy, or through the existing online visa portal, is yet to be announced.
Muay Thai Visa Requirements
The exact launch date remains undisclosed, and the requirements currently announced. I will update this section as soon as further details are available. However, at a guess, I’d say the requirements will be similar to a single-entry tourist visa.
