Help please am confused maybe because I'm clocking on. Am thinking applying for DTV on medical grounds. I have been told I need letter from thai doctor after appointment, does that mean I fly from UK get letter then fly back to apply? I have heart disease and have evidence letter from my UK consultant. As I'm a widower my plan was to visit various hospitals and enter a treatment plan based on cost. I would be flying home after stays and coming back. Sorry if I'm boring you but not sure what do or apply for.

HI, has a person from Laos obtained a DTV for medical purposes? My friend has the required bank balance in a Thai Bank, as well is also about to undergo Invisilein Dental services for the next year. The Dental office will supply the documents for the procedure and timeline.

American citizen, looking for some help with DTV application under soft powers medical treatment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I am currently in Thailand, and am receiving long-term medical treatment. I plan to fly out and apply for the DTV in a nearby country in the upcoming weeks.. I am not sure which country would be best for my situation. My questions are as follows:

I just recently (in October) put enough money into my bank account to meet the 500k requirement, but I see that some Thai Embassies may require bank statements from the last 3 months. Is there any country near Thailand that has an embassy that only requires the current month bank statement/balance?

Also, I read on one post that someone's DTV for medical treatment application was denied because the name of the doctor on the medical letter was not on the clinic/hospitals website. Has anyone else run into this issue and what embassy was this at? The clinic where I am currently receiving treatment does not have a website (it's complicated), so I am not sure if this would be an issue.

Once again, thank you for the help!

Hi all,

I am about to start a program of medical treatment in Thailand, which with follow ups and so on, will last approximately 1 year, with likely follow ups into subsequesnt years (it's a hip replacement - with complications).

Does anyone have any experience of applying for the DTV based on these criteria?

To add - I already live in Thailand, but i work rotations offshore outside Thailand, and am looking for a way to make my visa situation better than continual tourist visas.
