TLDR : Answer Summary
A user successfully applied for the Soft Power DTV visa through the medical/dental route in Taipei, completing the process in just 2 days. They mentioned having appointments booked and provided a letter outlining their treatment plan, meeting other criteria outlined on the Thai embassy's website. Community members inquired about specific requirements like bank statements and asked for recommendations on dental clinics in Bangkok.

Hello, can you please recommend which Dental Clinic you have used in Bangkok? I need to schedule braces and gum grafts to get a soft power DTV. Much appreciated, thanks!

What do you mean by "letter of my treatments plan"? Is that done by your home dentist/ doctor? Thank you and congrats!

just one Bank statement with above the 500,000b...

Yeah I was 2nd in line for the Tourist visa side but I had an Interview yesterday afternoon and asked me to collect my passport today...

So It may be possible for same day as i didn't see any of the same people from yesterday there today to collect passports...

I guess each application is slightly different & unique perhaps the other applications didn't have an interview and got it same day...

But I don't know for certain they offer an hour window for collection and there were still many passports to collect after mine...

I did also print off Regular monthly payments from previous 12 months from two of my rental properties to show I have sufficient income to support myself whilst living in Thailand..

And my rental Contract for my Condo in Bang Tao...

They didn't ask for this extra info but I'm submitted it to help support my application..

Good luck
