Our School

Why Your School Choice Matters More Than Ever

In 2025, Thailand revoked over 10,000 visas from students enrolled at unverified schools. Embassies now verify your school before approving anything. They check registration numbers, signatory credentials, and program details.

Sor.Dechapant Muay Thai gym in Bangkok — fighters training on the gym floor

Sor.Dechapant's registrations — publicly verifiable at school.opec.go.th

Two Official Registrations

Ministry of Education license สช.กร. 00025/2568 + SAT 5-Star Professional Camp (2025). When the embassy checks your host school, Sor.Dechapant appears in two separate official systems.

Real School, Not a Shell Company

Sor.Dechapant is an active Bangkok fight camp with fighters in ONE Championship, Lumpinee, Channel 7, and Rajadamnern Stadiums. Google us. Check the fight records. The gym is open every day.

In-House Embassy-Ready Files

Your file is prepared in-house — acceptance letter, school director credentials, program documentation, and the exact format your embassy expects. No outsourced templates.

Thailand didn't close. It curated.

The schools that survived the crackdown are the ones with verifiable registrations behind them

Sor.Dechapant holds dual certification: Ministry of Education (สช.กร. 00025/2568) and Sports Authority of Thailand 5-Star Professional Camp rating. Both are independently verifiable through public registries. When immigration officers check, they find real enrollment records in two public registries.

Process

Your path from tourist stamp to DTV

Same day

1. Start While You Are in Thailand

Tell us your nationality, current status, and how much time is left on your stamp. We check whether the timeline works and which embassy makes the most sense before you pay.

2-4 weeks

2. Get SAT Documents While You Stay Here

After payment, we prepare your file within 48 hours and submit the school side to SAT. While approval is moving, you stay in Thailand and get ready for the application trip.

1 trip abroad

3. Leave, Apply, Re-Enter on DTV

Once SAT approval is ready, you leave Thailand, submit through the Thai e-Visa system from abroad, wait there for embassy approval, then come back on your 5-year DTV.

Border Run Planning

Where people in Thailand usually apply from

You do not need to guess this alone. We recommend the right application country based on your passport, your timeline, and what we are seeing from embassies right now.

Vientiane, Laos

From Bangkok: ~1 hour flight

From Chiang Mai: ~1 hour flight

Popular for DTV applications. Straightforward option for many passports.

Penang, Malaysia

From Bangkok: ~1.5 hour flight

From Chiang Mai: ~2 hour flight

Organized and English-friendly. Often a comfortable border-run choice.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia

From Bangkok: ~1 hour flight

From Chiang Mai: ~2 hour flight

Good when speed matters. Best choice depends on your nationality and file.

Savannakhet, Laos

From Bangkok: Bus + border route

From Chiang Mai: Usually via Bangkok

Budget-minded option. Better for some travelers than others.

Why Our Students Get Approved

What makes our enrollment documents different

Most applicants don't find out what went wrong until after they've paid. These are the checks that actually matter.

Is the school ministry-licensed?

The risk

Some embassies, including Kuala Lumpur and New Delhi, now reject acceptance letters from private gyms that lack government certification. They want stamps and registration numbers that they can verify in official databases.

What to check

Does the school hold a Ministry of Education license? Can you find them in a government registry, not just on Google?

Where we stand

Sor.Dechapant holds Ministry of Education license สช.กร. 00025/2568. Embassy officers who check find us in the government database. No phone calls, no delays.

Is the course long enough?

The risk

Embassies have been rejecting short DTV enrollments since early 2025. From what we've processed, 1-3 month courses get rejected at most embassies. Even 6-month courses from unverified schools have been downgraded to standard tourist visas.

What to check

Is the course at least 9 months? Shorter programs save money upfront but carry significantly more scrutiny, especially from non-certified schools.

Where we stand

Our VIP Program runs 9 months. That hits the approval sweet spot across embassies. Shorter courses get flagged.

Does the school actually exist?

The risk

Embassy officers have started cross-verifying schools. A "registered entity" that exists only on paper, with no real gym, no real trainers, and no evidence of actual operations, raises red flags during manual review.

What to check

Can you independently verify the school trains real fighters? Does it have a physical facility, active social media, or athletes you can look up?

Where we stand

Sor.Dechapant is an active Bangkok fight camp. Our fighters compete in ONE Championship (searchable on onefc.com) and at Lumpinee Stadium. The school is verifiable in under 60 seconds.

Are the documents formatted for your specific embassy?

The risk

Each Thai embassy has slightly different expectations for document format, financial proof presentation, and supporting materials. A generic acceptance letter that isn't addressed to the specific embassy can trigger extra requests or outright rejection.

What to check

Does the service know what YOUR embassy expects? Or are they sending you a one-size-fits-all template?

Where we stand

We format your entire document pack for your specific embassy: correct headers, required attachments, school director credentials, and program documentation. Your file looks like it was prepared by someone who knows what that embassy expects. Because it was.

Who handles the application if something goes wrong?

The risk

When an embassy requests additional documents or clarification, the clock starts ticking. If your school and your visa agent are different companies, you're stuck in the middle relaying messages while your application stalls.

What to check

Is the school also handling your submission? Or are you the middleman between a gym that doesn't do visas and an agent who doesn't run a school?

Where we stand

Same team, same building. When an embassy calls to verify enrollment, our school team confirms directly: course dates, registration details, instructor credentials. No handoff, no delay.

What happens if you're rejected?

The risk

The embassy fee (฿10,000-15,000 depending on country) is non-refundable no matter what. That's government money, gone. And most DTV services keep their service fee too, even when their weak documents caused the rejection.

What to check

Does the service refund their fee if you're rejected? Or does "non-refundable once documents are issued" mean you're paying twice to try again?

Where we stand

If your DTV visa is rejected for any reason, we refund 100% of our service fee. You must meet the standard government requirements (500K THB liquid, valid passport, apply from outside Thailand). The embassy visa fee (varies by country, typically ฿10,000-15,000) is government-collected and non-refundable by anyone.

The price difference between services isn't the risk. The risk is paying ฿10,000 to an embassy with documents that weren't ready. See pricing below ↓

Pricing

Pick your program. We handle the hard part.

Every program includes the same embassy-ready document pack — acceptance letter, notarized affidavit, SAT certification, curriculum, and full business credentials. The difference is how much border-run planning and submission support you want from us.

Still doing border runs every 60 days? A single visa run costs ฿8,000–15,000 in flights, hotels, and lost work days. Your DTV pays for itself in 2–3 trips.

Student Proof

What people already in Thailand say

"I was already in Bangkok on a tourist visa and wanted to stay longer to train. The team walked me through the DTV process, handled the documents from the gym side, and kept the timeline tight. Everything was ready before I had to leave for the embassy. Training at Sor.Dechapant on top of that? Serious coaching, serious environment. Exactly what I was looking for."
