ORIGINAL POSTER

I was denied to apply for DTV/Medical Treatment (2-year period) and was redirected to "Non-Immigrant Type-O-Medical Treatment."

Why did they do that, and what is the difference between DTV/MT and NIT-O-MT for me in this case?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user was redirected from applying for a DTV/Medical Treatment visa for a 2-year period to a Non-Immigrant Type-O Medical Treatment visa. The change likely resulted from the consulate assessing that the medical treatment did not warrant the longer DTV visa. The Non-O visa is valid for 90 days but can be extended in Thailand with proper documentation from the hospital.

Without knowing the medical treatment you tried to use its impossible to comment. But they obviously assessed it as not worthy of a 5 year visa. The Non-O will be good for 90 days which you can extend inside Thailand with support from your hospital

Where / what consulate was it? Did they keep the (inflated) visa fee? You could try to get the DTV on a different category, instead.

Each embassy gets to set their own requirements for each type of visa. The embassy you applied at decided the medical treatment you submitted did not necessitate a 5-year visa and decided instead that you should apply for a medical visa based on their rules.

What should I do if my wife received a Non-O visa instead of a DTV visa after applying in Thailand?
