Hmmmmmm weight loss retreats, do these count as medical treatment for DTV ?

Hello! Trying to figure out the best way to come to Thailand on SSDI. I am 35 years old. I have 85k USD in savings and get 3k a month. Can I go the workation route? I'm scared that if I go the Muay Thai or learning to cook route. It will get back to Social Security and I will lose it. Appreciate any guidance on the matter!

Hello everyone, I am new here and I have a question relating to DTV visa.

One of the possibilities to get this Visa is a participation on a soft power activities ,

such as Muay Thai courses, Thai cooking classes, sports training, medical treatment, seminars or music festivals.

My question is:

what is a participation on medical treatment? Does this mean you get the medical treatment or you learn that medical treatment?

I am confused because in all other activities like Muay Thai courses, Thai cooking classes, sports training you will act as a learner.

I am thankful for any clarification.

Thank you

I'm currently in Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption undergoing long term medical treatment. Trying to decide if a DTV might be the best option for me over the next year or two. I kind of have a handle on what's required after reading here. I'm pretty sure I can qualify for the medical soft power since I have to see two specialists and purchase an injectable medication monthly. I also have labs scheduled in early March. Acccording to the doctors I have to take this medicine for the rest of my life.

I realize I have to leave the country and apply at an outside embassy. My question is which of the neighbor country embassies would be my best chance for the least hassles?

Hi, QQ can I apply medical treatment for my 8 yo braces or do I have to be the one receiving medical treatment as the applicant?

Soft Power - I see many people in this group getting it for all sorts of 6 months courses. I don't get it.

If the DTV is a 6 months visa(+extensions) for each entry for 5(!) years, how would they give it to you if your course is only 6 months ? what happen when you extend after 6 months, or enter again 2 years later ? "Hey sir, your course is over long ago.."

Has anyone successfully applied for DTV using the soft power related activity option , does the course which we signed up for be a 5-YEAR COURSE?

Also, are we ONLY limited to these 3 options for soft power related activity and stated in this website

[members only]

• Muaythai

• Thai culinary training

• Medical treatment

IS Learning Thai language not considered one of the options for the approved course ?

Must the financial evidence be in THAI BHAT ? It can be in our own country's currency, right ?

Has anyone received their DTV based on having lasik surgery?

Would trailing spouse be applicable as well?

Does wellness retreats and hair loss clinics qualify as “Medical Treatment” when applying under soft power?

If so, what process or agent provides a DTV outcome?
