Hi all,

I am about to start a program of medical treatment in Thailand, which with follow ups and so on, will last approximately 1 year, with likely follow ups into subsequesnt years (it's a hip replacement - with complications).

Does anyone have any experience of applying for the DTV based on these criteria?

To add - I already live in Thailand, but i work rotations offshore outside Thailand, and am looking for a way to make my visa situation better than continual tourist visas.

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on obtaining a DTV (Dependent Visa) for medical treatment in Thailand lasting approximately one year, following a hip replacement surgery. They mention currently living in Thailand and working offshore, expressing a desire for a more stable visa situation compared to continuous tourist visas. A comment indicates that someone successfully obtained a DTV with just one medical appointment, suggesting that it might be feasible for the user.
