Stupid question, but would getting a hair transplant qualify for medical treatment for a DTV 😏
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether a hair transplant can be classified as a medical treatment suitable for a DTV visa in Thailand. While some respondents insist that a hair transplant is a cosmetic procedure and may not qualify, others confirm that if a detailed treatment plan from a licensed medical professional is provided, it could potentially be eligible. The conversation reflects a mix of opinions, humorous remarks, and personal experiences regarding medical tourism in Thailand.

I would think it's possible if the doctor was able to define a treatment plan and appointment schedule lasting a significant amount of time.

Contact MP Hair Clinic in Chiang Mai. I had a surgery there. It’s a 1 year program. There are monthly visits for injections to aid in the hair improvement. Just ask if the doctor can write a diagnosis and 1 year treatment plan for you.

No. It’s not a medical procedure, it’s a cosmetic procedure.

Todd McGowan Embassies have said cosmetic procedures don’t qualify. You need a letter from a hospital or medical center to show evidence. However, like you said there is no explicit list banning hair transplants, the approval is inconsistent, but approval is NOT guaranteed and there is a high chance of rejection.

I am pretty sure medical tourism can include hair transplants.

I also see one person claiming to have gotten their DTV for this reason in this comment section.

Personally would suggest contact your local Thai Embassy and ask if they approve this type of medical tourist for the soft power route, and what sort of duration and documentation they would need for this application.

Good luck!
