What are the steps and costs involved in applying for a DTV soft power-medical visa at a Thai Embassy?

Question

applied dtv soft power-medical online at thai embassy washdc on 3/10. received dtv on 3/14.  used:  1.  most recent credit union monthly statement, all pages. 2.  official, chopped & signed, initial appointment letter from bnh diagnostics center.  i have some chronic knee injuries that need ongoing treatment.  3.  the rest of the required documents per thai evisa website.  i also offered evidence of alot more $, my worldwide medical insurance documents and a cover letter but my atty demurred.

cost:  $300 initial medical appt, $400 evisa fee, $400 atty fee. i retained an atty because i needed fast & sound advice (which i certainly received), and proper application formatting.  money well spent on an atty for something important to me.  i wasted way too much time worrying and researching on my own.

good luck all.

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Congratulations. 400USD is reasonable agent/legal fee for peace of mind and double checking. Was it a company with legal and an old name for Thailand in its name?
