Do I need to pay for hospital treatment or just schedule appointments for my DTV visa in Thailand?

For the DTV medical treatment visa in Thailand, it is generally not required to pay the hospital upfront. Instead, one typically needs to secure an appointment with the hospital and provide an appointment card to the consulate. However, you must have an active and ongoing treatment plan during your stay in Thailand. It's important to note that some may recommend a minimum of six months of appointments as part of the treatment plan.
