What are the requirements for applying for the DTV Medical Visa for Hormone Replacement Therapy in Thailand?

DTV Visa for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Yes, you can obtain the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) under the medical treatment category for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), whether it's for menopausal symptoms, testosterone replacement (TRT), transgender care, or other hormone-related conditions. Thailand's DTV explicitly supports medical tourism, including ongoing treatments like HRT, as long as you provide evidence of a structured treatment plan from an accredited Thai healthcare provider. This has been successfully used by applicants for similar therapies, such as TRT combined with other wellness procedures.

HRT qualifies because it's considered a legitimate medical treatment requiring regular monitoring, consultations, and prescriptions—aligning with the visa's focus on "medical treatment" under Thai Soft Power activities. Routine check-ups alone might not suffice, but a documented 6+ month plan (e.g., initial assessment, hormone level monitoring, and follow-ups) strengthens your case. Rejections are rare if documentation is solid, but some embassies initially question "cosmetic" aspects (e.g., if framed as anti-aging); a clear explanatory letter helps.

Avoid that...try a soft power activity.

You would need treatment plan in thailand for a hospital/clinic and appointments. Also reports that some embassies dont see all clinics as enough and require hospital only and some also like to see that you have started treatment. Not sure if that start needs to be in thailand or can be inside/outside as a co-op. Medical can be very simple or very hard depending on paperwork and embassy
