What does the Wellness category cover under the DTV visa in Thailand?
Hello. I was approved a DTV. On the paper it states for Medical and Wellness. Could someone please tell me. What does Wellness cover. Thank you
Answer summary
The Wellness category of the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand covers non-medical treatments such as yoga, meditation, and counseling. While some users have confirmed that their visas were approved under this category, it appears that approval may vary depending on the embassy's policies. The discussion includes mentions of using yoga as part of a health program, and there are concerns about whether activities like yoga for basic health would be approved.

Thank you. The dental treatment is going well. I did not realise that the embassy would add a second category. Wellness. Which is a bonus for me.

you seem to misunderstand the DTV issued on a "soft power". You cannot work on it inside Thailand. You are supposed to attend seminars, classes and schools. As attendances aren't checked by Immigration, you are litterally free to live, but not allowed to work.Abe *******
What embassy did you apply at?

UK. I originally applied under the soft power medical category. i was unaware that this cagegory also included wellness until my visa was approved.Abe *******
I wasn’t aware that you could apply under the medical and wellness category, as my embassy never mentioned it. I recently came across an article that said it’s possible to do so for yoga and meditation, but I wasn’t sure if it was actually allowed.

It is just a category ie "Medical & Wellness".

OP@Greg *******
Does that mean that when one applies for a DTV under medical . Wellness will also be added as a second category?
