Im applying for DTV Medical Soft skill because of Type 1 Diabetes. Will work with two clinics with peptides, ozone, maybe HBOT etc and some routine blood work.

Could you give me any tips so my visa gets approved at first time?

- how many month of treatment plan are necessary?

- will they want some proof of my chronic illness?

- any other tips, if someone already went through this please let me know ka :)
Answer summary
When applying for a DTV Medical Soft visa due to a chronic illness like Type 1 Diabetes, it's crucial to prepare thoroughly for a successful application. Key tips include: 1. **Treatment Plan**: A minimum of six months is generally recommended, with some individuals suggesting a year for safety. 2. **Documentation**: Provide a medical certificate confirming your diagnosis, a treatment plan from your physician, appointment schedules, and receipts for prior treatments. Ensure these documents contain official letterhead from recognized clinics. 3. **Bank Statements**: Prepare a bank certificate if renewal might be necessary, even if it's not requested immediately, as it may be needed later. 4. **Consult Clinics**: Choose reputable clinics known for handling DTV applications and prepare them for potential verification calls from authorities. 5. **Check Embassy Requirements**: It's advisable to inquire at the embassy for specific documentation and requirements. 6. **More is Better**: When in doubt, include more paperwork to support your application. By following these guidelines, you can enhance your chances of approval on your first attempt.

i got accepted for medical reasons. i'd already been in thailand receiving treatment, so just showed them all the receipts for the appointments i'd had. Plus a doctor's note/certificate thing stating my medical diagnosis and the treatment plan. plus proof of future appointments and treatment

presumably if you have type 1, you've been dealing with it all your life. so just show some paperwork showing that + evidence of spending money on treatment in thailand and it should be fine

if in doubt, err on the side of including more paperwork

one thing worth mentioning is, on the financial side of things, when you have to renew at 6 months they might ask for a bank certificate (i think it's called). which is like a bank statement of your entire banking history with the bank you apply with. not just the one account you have the money in

it depends on where you stay. but they didn't ask for it when i applied. but did when i went to renew. and i am unable to get it, because it requires returning home to pick up from the bank in person. so worth getting one before you leave even if they don't ask for it now. might save you some headaches later

I’m under a soft power medical DTV for physical therapy.

My medical proof included a doctor’s diagnosis and treatment plan, proof of upcoming schedule appointments (I had a 5 week treatment plan), and receipts showing my appointments were prepaid already. I had no issues using this evidence.

It’s probably best to do your treatment at a big well known hospital that has a good brand name reputation.

I got my DTV for medical soft power with a clinic. I had a letter from the clinic with a basic, not detailed, treatment plan for 2 years.

To answer each questions.

I had a full one year treatment. I would not take a risk with 6 months.

The doctor will definitely need to write a medical certificate stating your chronic disease etc.

They will probably call the clinic to check, so best is to prepare them for the call , so the doctor can tell them you are an actual patient. You don't want some incompetent receptionist answer the call and telling them you are not a patient.

Documents: Receipts, medical certificate, letter of doctor, treatment plan, appointment card, and if possible document proving the clinic is real.

Those are the documents I gave.

I'm not sure about clinics but from what I've seen you need a minimum of a 6 months treatment plan signed off by a recognised doctor on official letterhead of the facility

No idea on the minimum length but make sure the clinics are recognized for the DTV.
