Hello guys! Thanks in advance for anyone will share any info 🙏🏻!

Anyone had experience using diving schools as Thai soft power activity perhaps mixed with some medical treatments whit a plan of appointments for an implant to a dentist clinic ?

I would love to apply on line from Italy for the DTV visa 🙏🏻

Thanks!

Hey!

Has anyone applied recently via the medical route in Jakarta? I am still unsure which route to apply with. I do have some medical treatments lined up. I also heard that they thai embassies are starting to require a document that shows a partial payment for the treatments, like a deposit. Any information on that?

I'll definitely will apply in Jakarta because i am currently on Lombok.

Cheers Eva

Hello everyone, I’m seeking medical treatments to obtain a DTV and would like to know does it include dental procedures such as orthodontic treatments like braces? Does the total cost have to meet a specific amount? If so, any recommendations that will provide a treatment plan letter?

So… when talking about applying for A DTV… does anyone know anything about what Medical Treatments Qualify…

Or even when applying for just a Medical Visa… was type of Medical Treatments will qualify…

Yes, I know the DTV has only been out for like a month and not many people know much about it. I was just wondering if anybody any ideas??

 thank you for your input in advance…

I appreciate your kindness !!

I have a few questions about the medical system in Thailand... I recently discovered that I have a fractured bone spur in my neck which (likely) was and still is causing some serious health problems, but I had to fight with my doctors at Bangkok Hospital to get the scans I wanted which led to that discovery. An orthopedic surgeon at Bangkok Hospital told me he didn't agree with my rationale for wanting to do additional scans (an MRI using a different technique & a CT scan). Eventually, I ended up going to Bumrungrad Hospital to get a prescription from a spine surgeon for the CT scan which detected the bone spur. My question is, why can't the patient get whatever scans they want at a hospital or imaging center? Why is a doctor's prescription required? Is it like this in other countries too?

My other question is, why did multiple Thai doctors propose dangerous, invasive treatments and surgeries when asking how to diagnose the problem? They straight up said we could do the procedure, and if it works then we would know so and so was the problem... I couldn't believe what I was hearing 😳 It made me wonder how many unnecessary surgeries are performed in Thailand. Has anyone else ever experienced something similar?
