What are the requirements and recommendations for applying for a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) for medical treatment in Thailand?

Dear all,

I need to apply for a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) for medical treatment in Thailand and I kindly ask you to help me clarify some doubts, so as to avoid my application being rejected:

1)"Applicant should not apply for visa more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival."

The regulation says that I cannot apply more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival in Thailand. This means that, if I want to leave in August 2025, I cannot apply yet, right? If today is March 8, 2025, I can apply for a visa with a maximum departure date of June 8, 2025, correct?

2)"Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter."

Is a letter from the bank stating that my balance is more than 500,000 THB okay?

3)"Document indicating current location."

Is a proof of residence with my Italian address sufficient? Or do I also need a copy of my ID card?

4)"Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center."

Is a medical certificate from the hospital stating that I need to undergo medical checks for at least six months valid as documentation?

5) Hotel/flight reservation.

In the DTV visa application I do not need to attach any proof of hotel or flight reservation to Thailand, right? Unlike the 60-day tourist visa, for the DTV you only need the documents listed above, correct?

Many thanks to whoever answers! 😊
