What are people's experience applying from Australia for the DTV using the "Thai soft power" activities and/or medical treatment? In this case dental. As I am not a digital nomad, but otherwise eligible. Thanks 🙏

The Thai government announced the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) to attract digital nomads, those interested in medical tourism, and soft power professionals. It's been reported that DTV visa holders may not be able to open a bank account in Thailand. They even close DTV holders bank accounts also. If that's the case, how will these visa holders handle their finances, such as depositing and withdrawing money? This is a terribly managed policy.

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.

My girlfriend (dominican) IS thinking about getting her braces done in Thailand, would this be sufficient medical treatment to get a DTV, in that case what would I have to tell the dental clinic, any recommendations in Phuket (Rawai)

Lastly anyone has tried to do sponsorship DTV in Phnom Pehn and succeded? I plan on sponsoring her, I am spanish and already have DTV status in Jakarta

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.

Hello, really sorry if this is an obvious question or stupid. I have done lots of research but not clear. I plan to come to Thailand on DTV to have surgery in Bangkok (will have proof). I need a specialist & waiting times in UK Via NHS is 18+ months, private costs are extortionate, whereas Bangkok, specialist consultant can see me within months and £10k rather than £20k+ in UK! Am I right that if my husband moves with me we EACH need £11k GBP in our bank accounts to meet DTV requirements and EACH need to apply for a DTV? Any advice / answers would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I would like to apply for the DTV soft power...

I am a Canadian citizen

I am thinking of applying in Malaysia.

I would apply for dental treatments(implants)

Is this feasible?

When obtaining the visa, how long is it valid?

Thank you for any information

I am doing some medical tourism in BKK, and if the treatment qualifies me for DTV that's a bonus. I started physical therapy but it doesn't qualify, does anyone know if allergy/immunology does?

Hi, all

I am using ED visa now. it will expire next month.

I hope to apply DTV by medical treatment.

I have had high blood pressue for long time.

I haven`t had any treatment from thailand. but I am having medicine from my country.

I read many posting but most of people apply by digital nomad and muay thai class.

Does anyone have a DTV by medical treatment?

what should I prepare for applying DTV with medical treatment?

please advise for my case.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english^^

AUSTRALIAN INFO:

I have some questions, NZ Citizen (NZ Passport), Aus Permanent Resident.

I am considering going to BKK for a Vasectomy Appointment. Will be one Appointment but can book in follow up Appointments x4.

My Questions for anyone that has applied from Aus.

1. What is the waiting time?

2. How many months previous bank statements were required?

3. How was the overall application process?

4. For medical applicants, how much documentation did you have to provide? Is confirmation of medical appointment enough, or do you need X amount of appointments?

I have used the search engine but nothing specific has been shown.

Any other Aussies with experience, feel free to drop a comment or DM.

Thanks to all in advance
