Hello group members. Did anyone successfully apply with a weight loss program? If so, which hospital/clinic did you work with? I saw that several successful DTV medical treatments were approved through Bangkok Hospital, but they don’t reply to my emails. Thanks for your input.
Just got my DTV approved! From Canberra, Australia. Approval email just came in at 11pm. Took 4 business days total. Went through the Medical treatment route.
For financial evidence I submitted a 'Proof of Balance' letter from my bank. It wasn't a bank statement with a transaction history, it literally just says on their bank letterhead, my name, address, bank account details, and current available balance.
For medical treatment evidence I went to the Bangkok Hospital last month for my chronic condition and saw a specialist as an outpatient. I told him about my condition and he said he can treat me. I asked him to write a letter for the Visa. He wrote a letter saying my diagnosis and how I will need treatment for at least 5 years and he believes I would be best treated in Thailand instead of Australia due to my symptoms not improving as much here. They gave me an appointment slip for my next appointment on 1/11.
When I lodged the application with all this information, 3 business days later the Thai Embassy requested a proper letter of confirmation for my next appointment. I thought they missed the appointment slip so I uploaded it again. They rejected it again so I figured it wasn't enough. I called Bangkok Hospital and got them to do me an official letter of confirmation and forwarded that on. Next business day I got my approval! Surprised to see it came in at 11pm.
I input my arrival date on the visa as 1/11 even though my appointment letter of confirmation from the hospital says it's 24/11 (I changed it). So it's been approved 1 month prior to my actual next appointment.
Dentist in BKK or Pattaya. Since Im gonna need receding gums sorting out in a year or two, might be worth using this to get a DTV. Can anyone please recommend a good dentist that they have used to get this grim work undertaken? My dentist in the UK reckons its a no-fun series of treatments. Im back in the Kingdom very soon so can drop in for a review at a suitable dentists and get the related paperwork for a DTV application. Thanks.
Can anyone recommend a reputable laser wart removal clinic in Hua Hin? I had a bad and expensive experience in BKK hospital so now looking for a private specialist clinic.
Definitely in the "everything else" category: can anyone recommend a hospital or clinic in BKK for lipoma removal? I was quoted 45k by one hospital, was expecting something much less. Thanks
