ORIGINAL POSTERHi! I'm applying for a DTV (🇵🇭 passport holder ) at the Thai Embassy in Manila 🇵🇭 under the Medical Treatment (Soft Power) category. 🦷
I have the following ready:
Financials: ₱1M (approx. 600k THB) maintained in my personal bank account for exactly 3 months. 💰
Medical: A solid 1.5-year Dental Treatment Plan and Appointment Letter from a well-known, licensed dental clinic in Bangkok. 🇹🇭
Questions are;
-Do I still need a Sponsor Letter if I already have the 500k THB in my own name for 3 months?
-Is it okay if I don't have 'Proof of Income' or 'Employment' since I am applying via the Medical route and not the Digital Nomad/Remote Work route?
Has anyone here been approved via the Dental Route in Manila? I’ve heard mixed things, Would love to hear some success stories for assurance! Thank you! 🙏

You have 1,5 year plan?
Or you paid for 1,5 year treatments in advance? First option won’t work

You do not need a sponsor letter with your own funds. They will want evidence of being able to support yourself beyond the 500k.

im just afraid i will get denied again this is my 2nd application with an agent that why i really wanna make sure i dont have errors but i also have a bf who lives in thai he’s retired in ThailandAndi ***********
Anonymous participant They may not accept him as a sponsor as you are not married. You have paid for 1.5 years of treatment which is good. You can email Manilla and ask them if they accept him as a sponsor. Manilla is very responsive to emails.

Anonymous participant Yeah apply yourself first. Maybe "borrow ' some money to increase your bank balance and show financial independence.

most likely they will ask for proof of income so they know you can take care of your self. Rest sounds fine.
