Hi everyone, I’m asking on behalf of my partner (he doesn’t use social media) and would really appreciate any experience sharing 🙏

1. Does mental health counseling / psychiatric treatment count as a valid medical reason for a DTV (medical soft power)?

2. Usually, is a licensed clinic or counseling center acceptable, or does it need to be a hospital?

3. Any recommended mental health clinics or hospitals in Chiang Mai that can issue English medical documents?

We’re planning to apply through the Thai Consulate in New York. If anyone has experience applying there under the medical category, insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!
