Why am I not finding information about medical or dental visas in this group?

Why am I not finding results in this group searching for „medical“ or „medical dtv“? 

Has really nobody in this group chosen this route? 

It seems pretty straightforward, especially if you need something done anyway, like dental work. 

Or am I missing something?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The query highlights the user's difficulty in finding discussions about medical or dental visas in the group. Respondents clarify that many have indeed pursued this route, emphasizing the need for a long-term treatment plan approved by a Thai doctor to qualify for such a visa. It is noted that while dental procedures like implants or orthodontics may qualify, routine dental check-ups typically do not.

It must be a long-term treatment plan or they will just tell you to get a Non-O based on medical treatment

Many people have, and reported on doing it. It requires meeting with your Thai medical doctor, and getting a long term treatment plan written, and signed by them. You can't do it by just making an appointment.

Yes people do use this route, but clearly it applies to dental procedures like implants, orthodontics though routine cleanings or checkups typically do not.

Here have been quite a number of posts regarding medical or dental in the group. It is a valid option and many are approved.

What are the experiences of Australians applying for the DTV visa using Thai soft power activities or for medical treatment, specifically dental care?
