I saw a post about using regular dental appointments as a valid "soft power" category but can't find it now.. What sort of documented evidence would you need to provide for that and does it have to be any specific treatments ?

Thanks 🙏

I am 86 years old and have a DVT Medical Wellness visa. I applied for it myself 10 days ago. I sent all the documents requested by the embassy (20 pages), including my hospital appointment in April 2026. I am now waiting for a decision; if it's not approved, no problem. My plan B is visa-free entry every four months, a 21-day stay in Thailand for my health update, and then departure. I would also enter similarly with a DVT visa, but definitely not for a long-term stay of 180 days.

Is it possible to get a dtv visa for medical reasons

(testosterone replacement treatment) 🤦🤦

And if yes does anyone have any links for clinics what do it in bkk

Hello everyone, I have medical documentation issues with my central nervous system. I was wondering if anyone has a list for the medical/art classes that would be qualified to obtain a dtv visa. I have looked through the group and searched on Google didnt find anything mostly to help me. I am an USA citizen/passport holder. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I’m planning to apply for a DTV and would appreciate some advice on which route might be best for my situation.

Remote worker:

I previously applied for this in Kuala Lumpur but they traumatized me with requested additional documents that were tricky, and I ended up canceling the application because I needed to go to Thailand urgently (and they don’t allow multiple applications at once). From what I’ve read here, KL seems to be one of the stricter embassies.

My situation is that I work full-time for a foreign company but on paper I’m a contractor, not an employee. In reality it’s exclusive and full-time (similar to employment), but technically it’s a consultancy agreement. I also don’t run a registered company, so I’m not really a freelancer either. Has anyone successfully applied under the remote-worker route with a similar setup?

Medical:

I’ve been receiving treatment for anxiety at Bumrungrad Hospital for about a year (telemedicine when i couldn’t be at bangkok), with appointments roughly every 3 months. The medication isn’t available in my home country, so the hospital has been shipping it to me, which has been crazy expensive. The treatment is almost coming to an end tho, but I’ll likely have at least a couple more follow-up appointments if not more depending what doctor will say, so 6months+ at least. I’m also considering starting counseling so that might be a thing as well.

Given this situation, which route do you think would be easier or more straightforward:

• applying as a remote worker from another embassy (not KL), or

• applying under the medical route?

Any experiences or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

My friend went to the Bangkok immigration office near Don Meuang (in Laksi Plaza/IT Square, 2nd floor, blue hall) while I was in Samitivej Chinatown about 2 months ago.

She took my passport, doctor’s letter about me not fit to fly, photo of me with the day’s newspaper, something in the photo with the hospital name and logo (a bag, in my case) and possibly a nurse, paid the B1900, and I got a 60-day extension of my visa-exempt status.

Everyone involved was compassionate and helpful.

I am Canadian entered in December 2025 on visa exempt stamp. Left Thailand before 60 days then returned in February in another 60 day visa exempt stamp.

First visit I had dental work done (bone graft) that required 3 month wait before inserting the implants which will happen late March. I will leave in April before 60 days expire.

I need to return in July / August to have the bridge installed.

Question (finally):

Will I be eligible for another visa exempt stamp or should I apply for a medical or tourist visa? I am over 60 but not ready to consider a retirement visa at this time.

Hello , i need information on getting DTV Visa or a long term visa as a Bangladeshi citizen. I Travel to Thailand frequently for vacation and medical specially . So it becomes a hassle to apply for the visa every now and then which also messes up my schedule of traveling.
