I’m on the last part of my DTV. I’m 70 and going for medical. I submitted my letter from my doctor in Thailand. They are asking for specifics on my care. The particulars seem intrusive. Has anyone else cone across this?

“Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center: The doctor's appointment letter should include details about the disease you are being treated for (What is the treatment for? How necessary is it to see a doctor for continuous treatment? appointment date ,time, and doctor's name”

Hello,

I'm going through the process to get a DTV soft power medical visa.

It asks me this:

"Invoice of deposit paid for the care booked"

I have made appointments with Bangkok Hospital and I had sent them the emails of the appointments but apparently they want more.

Problem is that how can i pay in advance, i have to pay when i will be there, i don't even think that Bangkok Hospital have a possibility for paying in advance.

Thank you in advance for your help :)

I have a little more than a year on my PE visa and am considering the extension (its grandfathered so I get the old prices)

But since I got this visa I have come down with a rare blood disease that requires lifelong medical attention and I am wondering what the deal is with a medical visa and would it apply to my situation.

What are the medical visa requirements?

e.g. criteria, money in the bank etc..

I also qualify for retirement visa and potentially marriage visa.

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.

Hi all. This is post that I never seen asked so here goes. Im totally lost with what visa I need to apply for as I won’t be a tourist as such. I’m looking to attend a rehab facility early next year but my stay will be for 90 days minimum. Thanks in advance people.

Hi all, I'm currently applying for the DTV visa using the medical category from the US and I am trying to find a reputable hospital or doctor that will do virtual consultations and establish treatment plan and issue a letter for the visa. Has anyone had any success on finding a hospital/doctor that will meet you virtually?

Got a lot of helpful info from others here, so sharing my experience too:

Success! DTV (Soft Power - Medical) approved via Los Angeles consulate.

Submitted May 14:

• 3 months of bank statements (above the required amount)

• Cover letter explaining medical need + supporting docs:

• Doctor’s letter

• Past appointment slips

• 2 upcoming appointment confirmations

Timeline:

No updates until May 29 — then status changed to “pending approval,” and approved later that day.

I tried to search "medical" to see what people have submitted for this, but the search function is failing.

I plan to apply in Hanoi next month. I could apply as workcation, but I also recently found out I need a major surgery. So, I'm not sure which is better to apply with. If you applied under medical at Hanoi, what did you have to submit?

Update: reached out to the Thai embassy in Seoul. After multiple back and forth, they confirmed tourists who entered Korea with K-ETA can apply for the DTV. They stressed the approval could take about a month.

Hi, has anyone applied in Seoul as a non-resident (tourist) and got approved?

I’m a US citizen on a tourist visa undergoing tests in Seoul for a recently diagnosed illness. I’m hoping to apply for DTV under soft power (medical) to continue with tests and treatment in Bangkok. I see on the Thai embassy website that I would need to be residing in South Korea - i find this a bit vague, does this mean the application is only open to residents, or can non-residents (tourists) apply as well as long as they’re in SK until the DTV is issued?

Grateful for any advice, thank you.
