ORIGINAL POSTERHello everyone,
I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa for 6 months (visits and medical treatments) and I have a question about the required documents.
For this type of visa, one of the requirements is:
1. Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from a hospital/medical center.
Does anyone know if it is sufficient to provide a single appointment, or do I need to include details of multiple visits or a treatment plan (e.g., medical therapy cycles)?
Any advice or experiences with this type of visa would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the requirements for applying for a DTV visa in Thailand, particularly regarding the proof of medical appointment. The original poster seeks clarification on whether one appointment confirmation is enough or if multiple appointments are necessary for the application. Responses suggest checking specific embassy requirements, citing experiences where applications were rejected due to insufficient documentation, and advising to provide a signed treatment plan for better chances of approval.

My DTV application was rejected in Laos, because I only had 1 appointment for surgery, I didn't have appointments pre booked for all the follow ups, as the hospital wouldn't issue these in advance.

I was thinking of the DTV as well, but found out about a scam yesterday, can't say here.

Much better chance of success with an agreed treatment plan signed off by the medical facility

start with showing them what you have at this momentStu *********
Depending on what country you are from, you can come into Thailand on a 60 day non-o visa for tourism (you get it at airport when you arrive). Once in Thailand then I would consult a Visa agent (there are many businesses "Visa Agent" check with a couple of them) and they can help you with the particulars of setting up a DTV if you need. The 60 day "tourism" visa can be extended another 30 days near the end of your 60 day entrance visa. Thai Visa Centre in Samut Prakan (about 15 minute drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok) is a knowledgeable and fair priced Visa Agent.

non-O visa at the airport? Tourism visa? No, you don't. For many passports it's a 60 day exempt entry ( no visa). Which can be extended for 30 days.Stu *********
@Lynnette ******
fine, what ever it is called. I always called ur a Tourist Visa but no, the term purists don't like that either 😏Jim ********
Stu Malcolm it’s not a tourist visa. The word “exempt” surely is the clue here.
Visa Exempt = No Visa!
Visa Exempt = No Visa!

@Stu ********
it's not "purist". It's misleading because a Non O and tourist visa are VISAS. You apply and pay and get it issued. The exempt entry is not a visa, it's exempt of having a visa. Zilch. None. Zero. It doesn't cost anything. Big difference.Stu *********
@Lynnette ******
Do you get a "visa stamp" in your passport?? YES! Do you think what we call it will make a difference when someone walks through immigration upon arriving at the airport in Thailand.Lynnette *******
@Stu ********
no. I did not get a VISA stamp in my passport. I got an exempt stamp saying I had entered WITHOUT a visa. No visa. Zero. Nada. None. And yes it does make a difference when you walk through immigration with no visa, and get permission to stay with no visa. 🤦. Dear god, just call it what it is instead of non stop arguing trying to prove having NO visa is a visa.Stu *********
@Lynnette ******
It is a visa for a Tourist no matter if you call it a non-visa or a Tourist Visa. The reason it matters to me is all the freaks on here that Criticize everything that isn't "Just So" Worded. And then there are the creeps that criticize anyone that asks a question as though people should have already read through EVER post in the group to see if there is an answer SOMEWHERE to the question. And you are treating me just like those a-holes because I said "non-o" instead of "non visa" (as if Thailand doesn't approve entry into the country with a stamp in your passport that is just like any "visa" stamp).Todd *********
@Stu ********
you are not understanding the differences for each. They each function differently. If you arrive without a visa, you will be stamped in visa exempt. It means you can stay for 60 days without a visa. Unfortunately, you are the ‘freak’ here that isn’t grasping the basics. It’s not exactly rocket science but seems over your head 😂. Best of luckStu *********
@Todd ********
no, you are the freak & another of the creeps in this group that get off on pretending you are "the smart one".Todd *********
@Stu ********
🤣🤣hopefully you get the help you need. Although they say there is no cure for stupid. Don't go away mad Stuie. Just go awayReply to

You have to see what your embassy wants. Each embassy sets their own requirements. What worked for someone else might not work for you.
