ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm currently outside of Thailand but I've got a series of dental appointments coming up in Bangkok. I'm considering applying for a DTV on that basis but am a little confused as to how much medical treatment you are supposed to have organized in order to get a DTV. Does anyone have experience with this, or know if there is some threshold of appointments or medical severity you need to meet?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation revolves around applying for a Dental Treatment Visa (DTV) in Thailand. Several users share their experiences and insights regarding the requirements for obtaining this visa. It appears that a treatment plan covering at least six months is generally considered sufficient for approval. Users suggest contacting a Thai embassy for definitive guidance, as local criteria may vary. Some mention that luck may vary with the duration of treatment planned, indicating that while six months is ideal, shorter treatments may also qualify.

I queried this with an agent who told me it would be up to the dental surgery. I think that meant whether they take part in the process or not. My dental work would easy be more than 6 months due to the periods of time required for healing between each treatment, so I would suggest that if you can find a dentist that participates in the DTV and your treatment covers 6+ months you should be good to go.

*I havent started my process yet so take what I said as my own personal experience 👍

Where will you apply? As noted treatment plan covering 6 months is pretty solid grounds for the DTV.

Generally it's 6 months or more, but some with less have had luck.
