What do I need to know about getting a DTV visa for dental implants in Thailand?

Has anybody done the DTV visa for medical treatment?

I need to get some demtal implants.

It Takes about 6 months to complete the implant process.

Would one dental implant be enough to get the DTV Visa or do I need to make the treatment longer? Already had consultation with the dentist and they are willing to write a letter and treatment plan.

Thanks.

Also, after reading that new article about the delays, right now, where is the best place to apply for DTV visa?

I saw somebody just got it in Vientiane, Laos, 2 business working days but then I saw someone 3 weeks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post inquires about the possibility of obtaining a DTV visa for dental work, specifically implants that will take about 6 months to complete. The user seeks advice on whether one dental implant suffices for the visa requirements and the best location to apply for the visa given recent delays, mentioning Vientiane, Laos, as a potential option. Comment responses suggest having a long-term treatment plan for visa approval and emphasize the importance of applying directly from one's home country to avoid complications.

If you say it takes 6 months they will end up giving you a tourist visa. Better to have a treatmentplan thats more long term if you do medical

The best places to apply is from the embassy in your home country. Many DTV holders have been asked why they didn't get their DTV at home on entry. It will make future problems much less likely.

Otherwise I think Hanoi is still the most recommended currently.
