TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry revolves around whether wellness retreats and hair loss clinics can be categorized as 'medical treatment' for the purpose of applying for a DTV visa in Thailand. Comments indicate uncertainty about this classification, with one user suggesting that it might be risky since such cases haven't been tested before. They recommend ensuring that the clinic is registered and that comprehensive documentation is provided. Others advise contacting the relevant embassy for definitive answers, as the community's insight is based on speculation.

You're asking the wrong site better try the embassy that you want to apply at. Then you know 100% l have never seen it before so everyone here is guessing and it's not their money. Get it 👍

There's other proven methods of getting the DTV visa... I would not bet on your success with a hair series of appointments.

Risky as it hasn't been tried afaik. That said, if it's a legit registered company with business licence and tax registration and the treatment plan or seminar is fully described and is a minimum of 3 months, (to be on the side side) and they are willing to provide all the paperwork that the embassy requires or requests, then give it a 10,000 baht shot.
