ORIGINAL POSTERSorry if duplication crap online I'm an old veteran. I want to apply for DTV on medical grounds due to heart disease. Have been told I have to fly Bangkok for a doctor's appointment letter and fly back to apply for the visa? My plan is get the visa then visit hospitals for best cost and treatment. I have a family to stay with as I will come and go over a period of treatments. My second question is will a British home doctor letter outlining my condition be OK for the application. Thank you in advance, please no wise cracks as this is a genuine enquiry.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry is about applying for a DTV (Medical) visa in Thailand due to heart disease, specifically regarding the requirement to obtain a doctor's appointment in Bangkok and whether a letter from a British home doctor would suffice for the application. Responses from the community indicate that a medical treatment plan signed by a Thai doctor is essential for the application, suggesting that having local medical documentation is crucial for the process.

You need a medical treatment plan signed by your Thai doctor. You can not get a dtv without it.

If you had medical records, you could have sent it to Thailand hospital doctor for appointment.
