He will require a number of visits presumably over a 12 months period.

60 days visa exempt is good for that

of getting dental implants he will need healing time, usually 3 months and if doing a full mouth restoration, it will take time and a lot of appointments. I own a dental laboratory and it could easily take up to 6 months or more.

@Gordon ******

you don’t know that. You have assumed that. Maybe he will need frequent visits so wants to stay in Thailand for the full duration. That is where the DTV comes in handy
