Why was my DTV application under the medical-treatment route rejected in Kuala Lumpur?
DTV medical-route rejection at Kuala Lumpur — looking for similar experiences
I’m a Bangladeshi citizen. My DTV application under the medical-treatment route was rejected by the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, with no reason provided.
I hold a Malaysian Dependant Pass valid until April 2027. My application included:
* A six-month treatment plan from Bangkok Hospital Phuket.
* A medical report and my next appointment in December.
* Six months of bank statements showing over THB 1 million equivalent, plus a bank solvency certificate.
* Police clearance from Bangladesh.
I previously spent around six months in Thailand receiving medical treatment. My doctor asked me to return in December for further treatment and provided the documents above. I have no history of overstay.
The application moved from “Pending Document Check” to “Pending for Approval,” then “Pending for Decision.” No additional documents or interview were requested before rejection.
Has anyone experienced something similar, particularly with the medical route at KL?
1. Was a Malaysian Dependant Pass with several months’ validity accepted as residence proof for your DTV application?
2. Could the remaining validity of my pass have been an issue, or might I need to apply from Bangladesh instead?
3. Has anyone successfully reapplied through Dhaka after a KL rejection?
I understand nobody can determine the reason without an embassy explanation. I’d appreciate firsthand experiences with similar circumstances.

Of course you didn’t get any reason for the rejection, that is one of the terms, you agree to when applying, which you can read at the Embassy website.
“The Royal Thai Embassy reserved the right to refuse the visa application with no reason provided and no refund”
Those status messages doesn’t tell you anything useable about when you get your application approved/rejected.
You can only apply in the Country where you have resident status, so you won’t have any choice.
You didn’t tell how long time from applying to rejection, if it was few days, then it could indicated that you either applied at the wrong Embassy, or that your passport information was incorrect.

You need to apply from Bangladesh

I am not sure if Malaysia asks for permanent residency, but when they accept you also would need police record from Malaysia, because that should match the country of residency.
For a 6 month treatment plan it might be much easier and cheaper to apply for METV, this is long enough and you don't need permanent residency nor police record.

Surprised that they didn't give you a 6 month visa as that all you need .

So far I know, you have to apply from Dhaka as a Bangladeshi and you need a police clearance too.

Permanent Residency is not a long term visa!

You need a Malaysian PR. Also worth extending treatment duration. As there is also a separate MT category visa, you will have to manouevre tactfully...!

Since you don’t have proof of permanent residence in Malaysia, you will need to apply from Bangladesh.
