Gym rates
What you book with the gym.
All of these totals include 7 percent VAT. Half is the deposit. The rest is due before training starts. The deposit starts the enrolment letter.

Papers
Two piles of paper.
The gym issues
- A Thai enrolment letter for up to 180 days
- An English invitation stating you will not take local work
- A stamped course form
- A tax invoice with 7 percent VAT from Khao Lak Muay Thai Co., Ltd., tax ID 0825565000907
- A copy of the 5-star camp certificate issued 31 January 2024 by the Office of the Boxing Sport Board
- A copy of the camp-head registration
After enrolment they request the Board letter that goes to the Department of Consular Affairs. That letter's timing depends on the Sports Authority of Thailand, not on a same-day email.
You bring
- Passport biodata, usually 6 months' validity
- A photo from the last 6 months
- Proof you are a citizen or permanent resident where you apply
- Funds of at least 500,000 baht
- A police clearance from your country of nationality or the country where you apply. Some missions want that certificate issued within 3 months, others within 6. Translate it if it is not in English or Thai.
If the visa is refused
The training deposit is refundable minus a 5,000 baht administration fee, because the gym starts the enrolment file straight away. The embassy decides the visa.
