I'm currently living in Thailand (on the student visa. It expires in Marchl.

I'd like to apply for the DTV.

-I meet the financial requirement with my savings

-I'm retired (under 50)

-I don't have a business

-I don't work remotely

-I don't have an income

What options do you suggest I look into for acquiring the DTV?

I see some applying for MEDICAL / DENTAL. It's possible to get the 5 year DTV based on a medical appt, is that correct??

I thank you all for your support on this request.

I'll likely apply in JANUARY. Maybe through Vietnam.

Hello all. I've suffered a pulmonary embolism and cannot travel due to illness. I've been bedridden since returning from hospital.

Is there a visa extension to apply for? If so what is the TM to apply for? Australian passport and in Bangkok.

Hanoi DTV approved.

Submit 26th November 17.00

Medical/dental

Supplied 2 bank statements of November from a German bank and an English statement from my country of residence both showing each well over 500k baht.

Current location input hotel booking Hanoi and stamp.

Home country not my passport country but country of residence.

What else to say ? I was a bit concerned as others got approved earlier by a day or two.

I thought i would post this and be as brief as possible. i am not new to thailand. i have been traveling here for 16yrs and lived here for 2yrs 2015-2017. probably 10 times over this time frame.

in august 2024 i obtained a 60-day tourist visa via the thai embassy online in the US (a week later they changed the regulation tha this is not needed). i entered thailand and extended my 60day visa for 30days.

exited, on time-on november 1st and spend about 20 days in cambodia via flight. upon arrival, 2 days ago at DMK ariport a very young (25yoa if that) immigration officer read me the riot act, of sort about "i cannot do this" and "i must get a O visa" ect.

i told her i was here for medical care and had both emails and paper copy;'s of such for bangkok hospital. she did not ask to see them, though.

she initially asked for my onward ticket of which i usually "have" one ready. this time i did not thinking nobody asks for that. she DID.

anyways i will sort this out with immigration and/or get the O or other extended visa. moral of the story:

"IF" i had my onward ticket (or rented one, per se) the immigration officer i believe would not of gone into her rant. there was a female supervisor sitting behind her i believe she was new and wanted to make "a" name for herself.

as i am not aware on a tourist visa if you leave there is a specified amount of time you need to stay out before coming back. then again thai immigration. like any nation's immigration can say, do whatever they want.

IF i had an onward ticket i believe i would not have had to listen to her lecture. just FYI.

I came to Thailand for medical treatment every year and i got all the old receipt with me but i dont have the next year appointment with me. Do you think Consular will approved my application?

Everything looks good.

But the Canada embassy requested two more documents.

The license for the clinic, and Thai ID of the doctor.

I assume they want to assure it’s a real clinic

So far the doctor doesn’t want to give ID because of possible scam And also they don’t want to scan business license but someone can come in and take photo of it.

I didn’t expect these issues from this clinic. So I’m not sure what I am going to do next.

I certainly can’t give up, this is my second time applying because the first one I made a mistake!

I received my dvt today . I applied in Budapest for medical . I didn’t provided bank statement but statement of my reoccurring payment schedule and my insurance information. I uploaded my hotel booking and my treatment plan . I actually went to Bangkok hospital and had a treatment plan done .

I am considering applying for DTV for medical visa. I have a spine condition and have already seen a doctor in Bangkok who gave me a medical certificate with diagnosis and treatment plan however the certificate says treatment (being medical physical therapy at a hospital) for 6 weeks. However since he only wrote it for 6 weeks would it not be approved? Should I ask for a longer treatment plan?

Is working remote allowed with DTV medical?

Where do you think the best place to apply for DTV visa for medical reasons…I’m currently in Thailand…
