Hello. I was approved a DTV. On the paper it states for Medical and Wellness. Could someone please tell me. What does Wellness cover. Thank you

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.

Anyone knows how to get medical invite letter from a bangkok hospital? I'm trying to do medical visa but don't know which hospital will give the invite letter.i want to take it from Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand

Hey all, need some advice, I had an accident which required surgery and I'm still in the hospital and not fit to fly. I'm here on the 60 day visa exempt and most likely getting me fit to fly will take 2 - 3 months. I know there is something like a medical extension, but I don't know if that is correct or the right way to go. I got contact details from ITA-2567 but 1 number is no longer working and the other just gets disconnected because 'it is too busy'.

Can anyone please assist?

Has anyone applied for a soft power (medical) DTV visa in Tokyo? What was your experience and were you successful? Did you have to visit the embassy or could it be completed all online? I'm currently in Japan on a tourist visa. I have seen some older information stating I require residency, though newer embassy posts seem to just require an entry stamp.

Hi, anyone has experience about this?

If a foreigner entered Thailand using a 60 days tourist visa exemption and already extended the visa for 30 days, but is unable to leave the country due to recently giving birth at Samitivej Hospital, would it be possible for them to apply for an additional visa extension to stay longer? Thank you in advance.

Can anyone please give or have any advice for me how to go about the least stressful way of getting a 12 month visa , thankyou
