I applied January 8th

Under the DTV medical portion got approved

January 16th!

I’m from The USA

I applied out of the Chicago embassy.

Thank you Jai Sandiego for the help.

What is the longest tourist visa available while I recover from a spinal surgery?

I had bariatric surgery in September in Bangkok, can I apply DTV using my follow up appointments?

Maybe there is no answer to this… to get a medical DTV you need a doctors approval of some sort. Assume you have a legit issue for the visa, how is a doctor in thailand supposed to know it’s legit and can therefore sign the letter? Am I understanding right when i say the doctors letter almost necessitates a visit to thailand? So youd see the doctor, hed confirm your condition and that perhaps you need minimum say 6 months of appointments.

I contacted the hospital and tried asking for the hospital to confirm my long term treatment in Thailand which I previously had a lasik surgery with them back in 2023 DEC. However they couldn’t provide the documents for me and stated that my case was by appointments only. Is there any other ways?

Hi everyone I’m new to the group . I had two questions . Firstly I’m from USA living in Mexico currently ….how does that work in regards to the location and getting the dtv visa when it says current location proof etc . Also does anyone know if a tummy tuck / liposuction or like a “mommy makeover” of sorts would qualify for the medical option to get the visa . I’m just curious because I see different scenarios here where people are getting denied and I would like some insight . Thank you so much 💙

Hello everyone,

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'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.
