I'd suggest you get concrete appointments booked as well as show as much proof of your previous history as possible with this clinic. Maybe the clinic can provide you with some type of patient history document.

That sounds more like an METV to me

I think they will request company and medical/dental licences - well they did when I applied.

I’m sorry to hear you had to return for the reasons you cite, but pleased your initial application went well for you 🙏🏻
Was a Thai airways full flexi a reasonable amount do you mind me asking?

Oh that’s not an issue. It’s a great clinic, long and respected history and A1 customer feedback. I’ve already told them to expect an approach and they’re good with that 👍🏻

the Embassy will ask you if they require additional documentsArticulateS***********
@Scott *******
I got mine a year and a half a go. Applied via London on a Monday with £20k+ in the account. Had submitted letter and treatment plan etc. then Embassy asked for medical and business licences and “real ticket” on the Tuesday- bought a full flexi with Thai Airways and sent the required documents by Tuesday afternoon. Received DTV late Wednesday evening. Had some work done - had to return to UK because of family issues.

Oh well that’s reassuring for my application 🙏🏻👍🏻
Did you get all your work done as anticipated?
All good now?

@Scott *******
you have more then me - I had about 10 years of dental 🦷- got DTV in 3 days.Scott ********
Yeah. I’ve got my comprehensive medical notes, a decades worth, more than 30 x rays, photographs - you name it.

Hopefully they give you the DTV visa...but be prepared for them to issue instead the METV multiple entry tourist visa. As your treatment plan for your dental work will be completed within the 6 to 9 months as per your dentist.
James ********
Please let us know what happens 🙏🙏🙏
Scott ********
I will.
It’s anticipated
With my appointment letter for an eye hospital in Bangkok being submitted too, I’m hoping I’ve given them enough 🙏🏻

months but the way the supporting letter has been worded if says it could be longer. With my appointment letter for an eye hospital in Bangkok being submitted too, I’m hoping I’ve given them enough 🙏🏻
Scott ********
What that doesn’t show is that the clinic have had all my notes (last 20 years), 30 X rays, dozens of photos etc and they say in their letter that they feel they’ve had enough information and clinical data to make an initial assessment and proposed treatment plan

They usually want to see the appointments booked

Pls see below

Thing is I can’t put the cart before the horse. I can’t get a visa, fly out there, see them, then fly back after applying for DTV
I do have an appointment date on the letter and a breakdown of treatments over 4 stages and 6-9 months

@Scott *******
suggest searching past posts of those who got their DTV on medical terms and see what they have done. You can always apply from a neighboring country.

@Scott *******
Can't you make the appointments with the condition that they can be cancelled if you don't get a visa?Scott ********
I have made the initial appointment and committed to ongoing ones spread over 9 months.
I’ve also got an appointment and confirmation letter from a BKK eye hospital as I’m having lens treatment

I'm not sure that will do the trick given it clearly states you haven't even had the initial assessment yet
