Hello everyone, I have medical documentation issues with my central nervous system. I was wondering if anyone has a list for the medical/art classes that would be qualified to obtain a dtv visa. I have looked through the group and searched on Google didnt find anything mostly to help me. I am an USA citizen/passport holder. Thanks in advance.
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the requirements for obtaining a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand, particularly focusing on the medical documentation necessary for individuals with central nervous system issues. It's emphasized that a treatment plan from a Thai hospital lasting a minimum of six months is essential, along with scheduled appointments. Community members suggest exploring various medical options and possibly engaging an agent for assistance. Questions arise regarding the inclusion of alternative therapies in the visa application process, and different visa alternatives are proposed for those unsure about meeting the DTV requirements.

You do not work, so why think about the DTV?

Go for one of the many visa options, which most can be extended year by year without travelling.

@Robert ******
was just seeing the options I could have for a longer stay instead of a normal multi entry tourist visa. I probably just go to an agency 😮‍💨

Stem cell therapy in Puket or Bangkok, I have several spine surgeries and nerves there are damaged and I will go to Bangkok and have stem cells , but maybe the immigration will only give you a visa for get treatment medical , but maybe you should also look around for recovery options, maybe you can get a Dtv this way

Not sure what you mean. If you want to go the medical route, you need to identify a hospital and doctor and establish a treatment plan that lasts over 6 months and make explicit plans for when your doctor and medical appointments will take place

RedGrape3220 no. It has to be a treatment plan agreed upon my a licensed medical doctor that you physically visited to set up the treatment plan.

RedGrape3220 you need a comprehensive medical care treatment plan from a Thai doctor and hospital outlining your care needs. With appointment dates plan extending beyond 6 or more months.

RedGrape3220, I’m in a similar boat. Couple of years till 50 so can’t do the retirement visa yet. I’m going g to try for a 6month Multi entry tourist visa so I don’t have to do classes etc as I’m not really able to.
