ORIGINAL POSTER

American citizen, looking for some help with DTV application under soft powers medical treatment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am currently in Thailand, and am receiving long-term medical treatment. I plan to fly out and apply for the DTV in a nearby country in the upcoming weeks.. I am not sure which country would be best for my situation.  My questions are as follows:

I just recently (in October) put enough money into my bank account to meet the 500k requirement, but I see that some Thai Embassies may require bank statements from the last 3 months. Is there any country near Thailand that has an embassy that only requires the current month bank statement/balance?

Also, I read on one post that someone's DTV for medical treatment application was denied because the name of the doctor on the medical letter was not on the clinic/hospitals website. Has anyone else run into this issue and what embassy was this at? The clinic where I am currently receiving treatment does not have a website (it's complicated), so I am not sure if this would be an issue.

Once again, thank you for the help!

TLDR : Answer Summary

An American citizen currently in Thailand is seeking advice on applying for a DTV visa for medical treatment in another country. They have sufficient funds in their bank account but are concerned about the requirement for bank statements and potential issues with the medical documentation from a clinic without a website. Responses suggest Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City may only require a final balance statement, while Taipei has had issues with medical doctor credentials and might reject applications based on insufficient documentation.

Jakarta was very easy for me for medical DTV. Id hurry up as they are switching to E-Visa soon

If you are genuinely receiving medical treatment you will be able to supply a treatment plan on the official paper from a hospital. Your use of clinic implies it's not a hospital so you will probably struggle

It was Taiwan. When I went some people were also rejected with medical treatment

Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh are ok with just a final balance of 500K THB. Taipei is the embassy where someone was rejected for the Dr being on the website. Choose an embassy and contact them to find out what is needed for the Medical DTV approval
