For Muay Thai enthusiasts, there’s thrilling news as Thailand unveils its latest offering – the Muay Thai visa.
Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand. This unique form of close combat, developed a century ago, has gained global fame. Fighters and enthusiasts from various corners of the world aspiring to receive authentic training and immerse themselves in traditional learning can now take advantage of Thailand’s new Muay Thai visa.
All you need to know about Thailand’s new Muay Thai visa
While Thailand has been offering a Muay Thai visa, the new version comes with some key differences. Tourists can study martial arts in Thailand under both visas. However, a notable distinction lies in the fact that the previous visa allowed entry for only 60 days, whereas the new Muay Thai visa grants entry for up to 90 days. This initiative is part of Thailand’s broader plan to enhance cultural tourism, with a focus on key areas like fighting, fashion, festivals, food, and film, as reported by VisaGuide.News.
Eligibility for the Muay Thai visa is not open to everyone. Applicants passionate about the sport who have already started training in martial arts will be welcomed under this visa. It is essential to note that applicants must stay and learn at training camps certified by the Sports Authority of Thailand. Further crucial details about the visa are yet to be revealed.
