ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi

Is dental work a medical treatment to satisfy the immigration for a 

'non immigration O Visa' ?

I've had dental work in Thailand already this year and returning in January and another one or two times in 2026

TLDR : Answer Summary

The question asks if dental work qualifies as medical treatment that can fulfill the requirements for a 'Non-Immigration O Visa' in Thailand. A comment indicates that dental treatment does not qualify for this visa type; rather, a medical visa exists specifically for hospitalization or emergencies.

No, as far as I know there is no medical O visa. There is a medical DTV or if you are hospitalized they can get you a visa while under care, but that is more of a “ I am not overstaying I can’t leave type thing” ie emergency.
