I’m moving to Thailand to continue my Muay Thai career. I train out of Manop in Chiang Mai (I have trained there previously). I am certain that gym has all of the correct certifications to enable visa sponsorship. However, sponsorship is not advertised and Kru Manop takes cash payment on arrival rather than requiring booking.
After learning more about what is required, I am a little reluctant to trouble kru Manop for all the required documents, though when I asked for his help I offered to pay a fee. Would it be better to simply spend a month at a gym that already understands the visa requirements, even if it’ll cost me more, for the convenience before going to my preferred camp?
Hello everyone, I know this question has been asked plenty of times but my situation doesn’t quite align with the similar ones found in search. I am applying in Ho Chi Minh as a remote worker. The question is the place of issue for the passport, my mexican passport issued in Shanghai has a remark about issuing state code as MEX and just a remark in the right bottom as SHANGHAI. Is it correct to select Shanghai as place of issue even if on the passport there are no exact remarks for this as “place of issue”? Thanks so much in advance
