Can I use a hospital certificate to apply for a DTV visa in Thailand?
Hello everyone, this is the certificate issued by the hospital. Can I use this report to apply for a DTV visa?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether a hospital-issued certificate can be used to apply for a DTV visa (Medical Treatment Visa) in Thailand. Responses indicate that for a successful application, the medical documentation needs to be formal, including being on hospital letterhead, stamped, and signed by a doctor. Participants suggest that the certificate should confirm future treatment plans rather than just completed procedures. Some users share their experiences and provide guidance on what the application documents should include, emphasizing the importance of official confirmation addressed to the relevant embassy.

I think you have to have an appointment letter for treatment. I emailed UK embassy about dental treatment and they said yes this will qualify for the dtv

OP@Anna *********
But I had already completed the surgery last week and the later stages will require observation and repair treatment. What should I do?Anna **********
@Chao ****
It states on thai embassy website, you need a letter of confirmation of appointment and treatment. it needs to be on letterhead paper addressed to the thai embassy of where you are applying, and signed by an authorised person. Hope this helpsChao *****
OP@Anna *********

No, you have to apply outside of Thailand

Personally think. The document needs to be on hospital letterhead, preferably with the hospital's official seal and the doctor's signature. maybe more formal

@Xiang ******

@Chao ****
the hospital has to write it stateing treatments dates and signhed and stamp by doctor and hospital stamped.Chao *****
OP@Xiang ******
This is just a template. He will have a formal document doctor‘s visa and also an electronic document.
Wannikea *********
You can't be serious, the treatment has already been done. DTV medical reasons require a series of ongoing treatments and appointments over a course of time.
Greg ********
@Wannikea ********
He has 2 years future cleaning indicated 🙂 :-)Chao *****
OP@Greg *******
I go to the hospital every month to adjust the wire😆Greg ********
@Chao ****
All you can do is try for the DTV. If you get it great. Good luck.Seb ********
I didn’t even see this. Yeah, all treatments have to be in the future for obvious reasons.
Chao *****
OP@Seb *******
I will ask the doctor to write a follow-up review and treatment for meChao *****
OP@Wannikea ********
I am serious because I just had surgery today and will review and adjust later.
Ngwako ********
@Chao ****

Not sure if that handwritten addition is favorable. The certification should also be on hospital letterhead and signed/sealed.

OP@Seb *******
This is just a template. He will have a formal document doctor‘s visa and also an electronic document.

Why not just save money and do it on a tourist visa ?
Chao *****
OP@Tim **********
Because the tourist visa is short-lived, and I was actually doing dental treatment, so I wanted to give it a try😆Tim ***********
@Chao ****
A tourist visa gives you 60+30 so not sure what dental apt takes more than 90 days. Remember visa's in Thailand are aligned with your intention. Get the visa that suits your intention and reason for being here. If you're trying to game the system to get a 5 year visa for a dentist appointment, that isn't it's intention and they will be sure to make sure you are on the right visa if you need to extend or deal with immigration.Chao *****
OP@Chris ********
I haven't applied yet. I'm still in Thailand.
Chris *********
@Chao ****
What about a multiple entry visa ?Chao *****
OP@Tim **********
OK, thanks. I‘ll check the situation.
David ************
Give it a try
Chao *****
OP@David ***********
I want to ask the immigration office. I don‘t know if it will help.
Henrik *****
It is the embassy where you will apply, you have to ask.
You have to go to a embassy outside Thailand.

OP@Henrik ****
OK, thanksSeb ********
@Chao ****
the Immigration Office has nothing to do with the issuance of visas, the MFA administers this via their foreign missions. I would approach the embassy/consulate in your country directly.
Kevin ********
@Chao ****
then no, you cannot make the application in the country.Seb ********
@Chao ****
you can’t apply in Thailand so you need to go back home and lodge it with your local Thai Embassy. But the certificate needs to list regular treatment in the future, not in the past.Chao *****
OP@Seb *******
I am currently in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Bob *******
@Chao ****
consular departmentSeb ********
@Chao ****
where do you live? You should contact the visa section of the embassy responsible for you and see if they will give you a reliable answer. Rolling the dice for $400 is a bit of a long shot.Chao *****
OP@Seb *******
Which department should I contact?David ************
@Chao ****
Seems immigration officers are just getting used to this new VISA. But I do think asking immigration is your only option. It would be pretty sad if someone here recommended you can’t use it when in fact you actually could have used it.Chao *****
OP@David ***********
Hahahaha, it's true. This medical treatment cost me 100,000 baht.😂
Kyaw ***********
Can’t
