Now you need a treatment plan written out by your Thai doctor, that is pretty easy to get for legitimate medical conditions. This is the one category of the dtv that hasn't been scammed to death like Muay Thai, and cooking classes.

Hormone treatment or weekly wellness spa NAD+ infusions count?

I am also looking at getting dental work done (MARPE or FME).

Is the first option a likely pathway or do I need something a bit more?

It’s that simple? That should not be an issue. Just was trying to figure out alternatives for Workcation if I get a denial.

Was looking into TRT and IV Therapy treatment anyway, but I will do some more research on the medical side.

Thank you.

I lived in Bkk and had a regular dentist. They wrote a treatment plan for me. Applied in London and got DTV in 3 days.

I did yes, i live here full time and have ongoing long term treatment. But mine was in September 2024 based on a single appointment at hospital. Things have changed allot since then.

I did via jakarta. Even have a old fashioned sticker in passport instead of E-visa pdf.

My gf and I applied for and were approved for Medical DTV about a year ago in Hanoi. At the time all we provided for documentation was a single appointment for a comprehensive health checkup, along with a cover letter explaining our expectation of future medical appointments. Not sure if that would still work, but 🤷🏻‍♂️
