Hello,

I am looking for someone who could give me information about the process for applying for a DTV visa for health/medical care reasons.

I underwent a major back surgery that left me disabled, and I am considering applying for this visa in order to receive follow-up care in Thailand under various treatment protocols.

If anyone has some knowledge of how it works or has information to share, I would be very grateful.

Thank you
Answer summary
To apply for a DTV visa for health/medical care in Thailand, consult the hospital where you intend to receive treatment to obtain a detailed treatment plan lasting over six months. This plan must be validated by a qualified medical professional and printed on official letterhead. Additionally, you need to demonstrate that you have at least 500,000 baht in your bank account or equivalent funds, along with proof of how you will financially support yourself during the visa's duration.

You first need to speak to the hospital where you will receive the treatment. They need to draw up a treatment plan for you of well over 6 months duration but they will likely want to examine you first. The treatment plan must be signed off by a recognised medical professional at a legitimate medical facility and be on official letterhead. Once you have this you can apply showing the 500k baht or equivalent in your bank account, but they may also want to see how you can support yourself for the duration of the visa.
