TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, there is a DTV medical visa available in Thailand, although obtaining it can be challenging and carries a risk of rejection, resulting in the loss of visa fees. Applicants typically need a comprehensive long-term treatment plan certified by a qualified medical professional. Several individuals have successfully acquired this visa, with experiences suggesting that a detailed treatment plan is essential to improve the chances of approval.

it's apparent from recent reports of those who have tried to get the DTV visa for medical care is finding it MORE difficult with ADDED supportive documents FROM the doctor and hospitals.

Glad you got yours when you did 🤗

I'm waiting for mine with no medical plan at all, just invitation letters, because we're going to see doctors there as our first step. Since now I just joined this group, maybe what I did was too ballsy.

Yes, I have it. I was approved with a very vague 2 year treatment plan. Basically one surgery with follow ups every 6 months for 2 years.

Yes, but make sure you've a proper long-term treatment plan signed by a reputed doctor/hospital. A bunch of random dentists appointments aren't doing the job anymore.

One of the more complex ways to go with big risk of rejection, and thereby losing the 10.000+ baht visafee.

It can be any kind of medical treatment, dental work and cosmedic treatment too. As for how long the plan has to be seems to vary between consulates, mine is 2 years but it’s only once every 6 months.
