Have anyone here applied for the DTV softpower medical that knows whats needed for medical papers??

Obviusly from my normal doctor back home, but from the clinic in thailand, what is required?

Is there special clinics only allowed for this or can any medical office write the papers??

And what does the papers need?

If anyone knows please share
Answer summary
When applying for the DTV softpower medical visa in Thailand, you'll need specific medical documentation. Posts indicate that you generally require a treatment plan signed by a recognized doctor at a hospital, including an official hospital stamp. Some users mentioned submitting additional documents like a medical center's business certificate and a letter from their doctor outlining the ongoing treatment and its necessity. There were instances where just a letter from a doctor, stating the patient's details and treatment, was sufficient for approval. It's crucial to ensure that the documentation clearly establishes the need for ongoing medical treatment, and depending on individual circumstances, a singular confirmed appointment may also suffice for the application.

You forgot the most important data, when choosing to be anonymous, such as nationality, applying at Embassy of … type of treatment etc.

If it can be done on a tourist medical visa, then you are likely to get that instead, but you will pay the non-refundable price of a DTV

Because I'm just using a medical center not a hospital I had to supply the medical center business certificate of registration as well as my letter from the Dr stating that I will be requiring ongoing treatment and why I am having it done there and appointment.

I'm having my menopause treated here in Phuket

I just got approved in Hanoi with one fully confirmed appointment (with a formal confirmation from the hospital). I had made a second appointment on a different day, but had not been able to get a confirmation letter. I wrote a little cover letter explaining the situation, which may have helped, but in the end, one doctor's appointment got me approved.

The only thing I submitted was a letter from my doctor in Bangkok stating I was a patient of hers and of that hospital. It had my passport number and hospital ID number in it. It was on official hospital letterhead and signed by the doctor.

Generally you're going to need a treatment plan for 6 months or more signed off by a recognised doctor at a hospital with the official hospital stamp on it

Anonymous participant That's correct. Most medical DTV holders have a treatment plan lasting multiple months from a hospital. The MFA issues other types of visas if they deem the purpose of your stay not fulfilling the conditions of a 5-year visa. It doesn't need to be surgery but something important enough that qualifies for a long term treatment.

Anonymous participant They don't offer the same guarantees as a hospital. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you're taking a risk by going that route. The government still needs to control who gets visas and for what reason; otherwise, it would be an open door for more scammers. That's already an issue.

PS: Don't forget you'll need to show an ongoing treatment when extending your visa in Thailand. Usually clinics aren't going for very long term treatments... or you'll need to apply for multiple ones.
