Maybe there is no answer to this… to get a medical DTV you need a doctors approval of some sort. Assume you have a legit issue for the visa, how is a doctor in thailand supposed to know it’s legit and can therefore sign the letter? Am I understanding right when i say the doctors letter almost necessitates a visit to thailand? So youd see the doctor, hed confirm your condition and that perhaps you need minimum say 6 months of appointments.

TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a medical DTV visa for Thailand, it's typically necessary to have a doctor's assessment in Thailand. While the initial inquiry may arise from a legitimate medical condition, Thai doctors will require an in-person visit to confirm the diagnosis and create a treatment plan. Following this visit, a document outlining the diagnosis and proposed treatment schedule will be provided by the hospital, which can then be used to apply for the DTV visa from a neighboring country. Some individuals noted successful experiences where they arranged medical appointments and documentation from abroad without issue, but a local consultation in Thailand is generally advised for visa approval.

I had eye surgery carried out in Bumrungrad hospital Bangkok. I contacted them with my UK macula degeneration diagnosis. They confirmed this with my UK eye surgeon. A treatment plan was devised and a medical visa obtained. This was before DTV existed, but it should be the same procedure now. I had an IMT implanted into my left eye, with three months of recuperation and training, then surgery on my right eye was carried out. In all, this process took eight months. Bumrungrad hospital are very professional and can provide any documentation needed. They have helped lots of international patients.

You come to Thailand visa exempt or buy a tourist visa, you visit a hospital for diagnosis and treatment plan, the hospital prepares a document outlining your diagnosis, treatment plan, follow-ups and appointments scheduled over a course of x (3-6) months. You go to a neighboring country and apply for the DTV.
