You will not be paying Thai tax.

There are no current checks on people entering that they have courses booked if on Soft Power DTV.

It is a capital amount required not income. It is 500k THB or the local equivalent set by the Embassy or Consulate.

@Shandy *******

So you can get a DTV with just an appointment letter from a clinic or hospital?

@Shandy *******

What other documents are you suggesting could be used to apply for a medical visa?

@Shandy *******

The hospital stated he can have treatment on a tourist or medical visa does it not? They are not refusing treatment at all. It looks like they will not support DTV applications unless already a patient for a period of time. You are reading too much into one line from someone who is not a native English speaker. Bottom line. The hospital does not support DTV applications with documentation unless already a patient for this illness.

@Shandy *******

They are not refusing treatment. Did you read the post? Looks like they are saying they will not provide documentation unless the person has already been a patient.

They may want to be certain the person is genuine. There are people on the DTV happily bragging they got it for medical treatment then subsequently cancelled the appointments.

Anonymous participant Currently there are no such checks on attendance for the DTV.

Yes you need to complete. The departure details are not mandatory and can be left blank.
