What are the typical payment practices for dental treatment in Thailand when applying for a DTV visa?
I just visited my dentist here in Thailand to ask for the documents required for the DTV visa. They scheduled appointments for a 6-month treatment plan but didn’t ask me to pay anything upfront. Is that normal? I even asked if I could pay something in advance 😂.
The staff told me I could pay whatever amount I wanted 😂. How much would it be reasonable to pay upfront in this situation?

Answer summary
The user inquired about the normalcy of not having to pay upfront for dental treatment in Thailand when seeking a DTV visa. The dentist's office allowed scheduling of a treatment plan without requiring an advance payment, prompting the user to ask what would be a reasonable upfront payment if any. Comments from other users revealed that it's typical not to pay upfront for dental treatments, as payments are generally made post-treatment. However, they emphasized the importance of acquiring proper documentation, like a treatment plan and medical certificate, for the DTV visa application.

Dream customer asking to pay when not needed 🤣 no but for Muay Thai soft power I paid around 12k baht up front for training and got accepted based on this

you are right, they ask to pay up front for Muay Thai classes, but you never know if it was accepted based on this. Anyway, medical treatment is different from Muay Thai classes.Paulie ********

I applied through medical dental treatment. I was told by the embassy in advance to show a treatment plan and a medical certificate outlining the reason for the treatment. I had a pre-appointment (and gave them that old appointment slip) but I had not paid anything up front.

Do you still need 50,000 baht in the bank if you go the dental route for a DTV?

Yes, so I still think that soft power is easier, because you only have the 500K requirement and that's all. Of course a letter and clinic schedule etc, but less paper work than workation (easier for sure if you are already living in Thailand and you have a dentist here )

I have never paid anything upfront for dental appointments in Thailand - paid after the treatment. Same as follow up treatment from hospitals after an Op. PAYG.

Anonymous participant Not unusual to pay post treatment. I had extensive root canal treatment over 7 months in Bangkok and only paid after each visit. Each time they said next visit such and such will happen and the cost.

You don't need to pay for an appointment. You pay when you have the treatments. Thai embassy only need the treatment plan for DTV. Decency is when you go back and actually get the treatments.is post here anonymous actually decency 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anonieme deelnemer To tell who you are is not necessary, but it would be more polite.

How long is the duration of your treatment? My dentist here in Thailand gave me a letter scheduled with 2.5 months , from February to April (approx), would be enough?Anonymous *************
OPI have a letter signed by my dentist [or "from my dentist's clinic"], which outlines a treatment plan.
The letter includes:
A detailed description of the recommended dental procedures (e.g., fillings, cleaning, etc.)
A proposed treatment schedule with dates and times for each appointment.
The letter is officially signed by the dentist.
As discussed with the receptionist at the clinic, this is the standard format they typically provide for visa applications for their customers, she said I am not the first one asking for this. This is a very popular clinic in the town where I live, so would be enough?
