What should I consider when choosing between Vietnam and Taipei for my DTV application while managing my medical needs?
Hi lovely people! I'm leaving Thailand in about 10 days to go apply for my DTV. I am trying to choose between Vietnam and Taipei. I would appreciate to hear anyone's personal experiences with either places.
I work remotely but I also get treated for Lupus here in Thailand already so thinking of doing medical soft power since it's much easier to get paperwork together.
I recently signed a lease in Bang Saray (Pattaya area), does anyone know if a copy of my lease will help me?
Any advice or feedback is so much appreciated :)

As one of the users said, Taipei checks the validity of the documents if they are from the clinic or from the hospital

In Taiwan You need a receipt , medical certificate, appointment schedule and letter from the doctor. All stamped. They will call to check.
They will also ask about your job and salary when applying for the medical treatment category.

I can speak Thai. They were very suspicious of all DTV appliers category medical treatment. So I overheard them say they called the clinic and everything was fine in my case. However others were interrogated for 5-10 minutes. That's why they also asked us for additional documents/information regarding job and salary.

interesting, and also seems quite proactive for 🇹🇭, 555! As far as I know there's no income requirement for soft power. Did you ask them anything in Thai,? In my experience there's usually a big change in the farang/Thai dynamic after. Appreciate your reply. ☺️Michael *********
@Iñigo ***********
would you mind explaining how you know that they called to check? 🤔
