What are the options for applying for a DTV Visa in Thailand, especially when retired and without an income?
I'm currently living in Thailand (on the student visa. It expires in Marchl.
I'd like to apply for the DTV.
-I meet the financial requirement with my savings
-I'm retired (under 50)
-I don't have a business
-I don't work remotely
-I don't have an income
What options do you suggest I look into for acquiring the DTV?
I see some applying for MEDICAL / DENTAL. It's possible to get the 5 year DTV based on a medical appt, is that correct??
I thank you all for your support on this request.
I'll likely apply in JANUARY. Maybe through Vietnam.

You'll likely need more than just an appointment, rather an agreed treatment plan signed off by doctor and hospital

Make sure you are in Vietnam when you apply and stay there until you get the visa
