Does anyone know what certification is needed when applying for the DTV for medical reasons? Is it simply one letter of explanation and proof of appointment or do you have to spell out several months of treatment in a letter from the hospital or doctor?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the DTV visa for medical reasons, the certification requirements can vary significantly depending on the specific embassy where you apply. Some applicants have successfully received the visa with minimal documentation, such as just a letter of explanation and proof of appointment, while others may be required to provide a detailed letter from their doctor or hospital explaining several months of treatment. It is essential to check the specific requirements with the embassy you will be applying at.

What's required is whatever the embassy you apply at says is required. Each embassy sets their own requirement, therefore each embassy requires different things. Check with the embassy you will apply at in order to find out what they require. There have been reports of some people getting the DTV with as little as a single dentist appointment, and some people requiring a full course of treatment for some ailment. There is no answer to this question, as you'll have to check with the embassy.
