Medical soft power? I want to head to Thailand for medical reasons, but since you have to apply from your home country (Canada) I was curious what path to take.
I haven't been in Thailand but heard it's 2nd best for treatments for my condition so I am interested in applying for DTV from Canada asap. However, I have nothing scheduled yet and I would probably have to get consultation first, so being the treatment is in Bumrungrad International Hospital can I apply for DTV using a consult appointment or does it have to be a full blown 6 month treatment plan.
I need to apply for a DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) for medical treatment in Thailand and I kindly ask you to help me clarify some doubts, so as to avoid my application being rejected:
1)"Applicant should not apply for visa more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival."
The regulation says that I cannot apply more than 3 months before the date of intended arrival in Thailand. This means that, if I want to leave in August 2025, I cannot apply yet, right? If today is March 8, 2025, I can apply for a visa with a maximum departure date of June 8, 2025, correct?
2)"Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, sponsorship letter."
Is a letter from the bank stating that my balance is more than 500,000 THB okay?
3)"Document indicating current location."
Is a proof of residence with my Italian address sufficient? Or do I also need a copy of my ID card?
4)"Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center."
Is a medical certificate from the hospital stating that I need to undergo medical checks for at least six months valid as documentation?
5) Hotel/flight reservation.
In the DTV visa application I do not need to attach any proof of hotel or flight reservation to Thailand, right? Unlike the 60-day tourist visa, for the DTV you only need the documents listed above, correct?
Hello, what is your experience with soft power medical DTV? Every two months I undergo treatment with biologic medication in the university hospital in Thailand.
I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa for 6 months (visits and medical treatments) and I have a question about the required documents.
For this type of visa, one of the requirements is:
1. Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from a hospital/medical center.
Does anyone know if it is sufficient to provide a single appointment, or do I need to include details of multiple visits or a treatment plan (e.g., medical therapy cycles)?
Any advice or experiences with this type of visa would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
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.
I am in Perth Australia, can someone please recommend a clinic or hospital that has menopause specialist in Phuket that I can apply for the DTV visa soft power option for medical treatments, thanks
