Has anybody done the DTV visa for medical treatment?

I need to get some demtal implants.

It Takes about 6 months to complete the implant process.

Would one dental implant be enough to get the DTV Visa or do I need to make the treatment longer? Already had consultation with the dentist and they are willing to write a letter and treatment plan.

Thanks.

Also, after reading that new article about the delays, right now, where is the best place to apply for DTV visa?

I saw somebody just got it in Vientiane, Laos, 2 business working days but then I saw someone 3 weeks.

Hello! I’m looking to possibly apply for a DTV under the soft-power category of medical treatment for iron infusions/anemia. I will be meeting with a specialist in my home country at the end of this month to get a better idea of how often treatments are needed, but from what I suspect it will be 1-3 months of treatments annually with a check-up every 6 months. From what I understand of the Non-Immigrant-O visa, I would have to be over the age of 50 to qualify (which I am not), so DTV might be my best option — especially if I need the treatments annually & a check-up bi-annually. What are the chances I am approved for a DTV for needing these transfusions? My primary reason being that they’re more accessible & affordable to me in Thailand, but I also do really love spending time in Thailand & would ideally like to also take language &/or classes during my time there if approved with the DTV & iron treatments help improve my energy levels.

May I seek any kind advise?

I am heading to Thailand for an urgent medical treatment and will be reentering Thailand (60 visa exemption + 30days) at least twice.

Can I ask if the above arrangement, would I be liable for tax in Thailand?

Any kind advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone on a soft power DTV visa for medical treatment was asked when reentering the country after the 6 months for any medical paperwork to justify you're still on treatment? I have the original treatment recommendation/ prescription but I don't have the future appointments proof.

Hello. Yesterday started treatment for implants. Will have more preparation work done in 2 weeks, 2 weeks later flying back to home country. Where will apply for a DTV - Visa. The pictures shown. Would this be sufficient proof for Thai Embassy when applying.

Hey! I have a question about the DTV visa on medical grounds. Does it have to be a necessary procedure, or can it be a package like a full health screening?

Has anyone got approved through things like allergy testing or a full health screening?

Thanks in advance!
