Good morning to all in Thailand. I am inquiring about visa requirements: is a physical therapy clinic categorized under the medical section of the visa or are specific requirements necessary for that section of the visa?

Thought I'd share my DTV process for those who is going medical route in HCMC Vietnam.

-Applied for HCMC Consulate

-Took a day before requesting for documents

-I moved money to personal bank account to be sure (well over the 500k baht since it's joint )

-for documentation of what medical care plan

-I'm an athlete with injuries so I showed diagnosis, MRI's, multiple doctors visits, PT , receipts, and treatment plan over the next few months. (all done at thai hospitals and had wet stamps) Also had a cover letter explaining what each document was.

-they replied and said my bank statement was not correct (which was the only option I had from my bank). so I took a screenshot of the account activities and sent that with the previous bank statements that they said was not a bank statement.

-They followed up and asked for a selfie with the date and my name on the receipt at the location I'm in.

-Approved 3 days later.

I've also found when it asked for help here there were a couple trolls who weren't very knowledgeable and specifically an old guy who was a "top contributor" that sounded adamant I won't get it.

so just be prepared in the requirements and read other stories of what others have submitted.

Good day lovely people ,i just want to get some advice on how i can get a DTV (visa) via the medical route

Dental to be specific

Will follow on points in the comment section

Hello once again. I have been told my dental treatment from start to fininsh will take just over 12 months. What visa should I apply for. My treatment starts on 3rd March 2025….

Good afternoon. I entered Thailand with DTV in august 24. so i need to extend. I applied under medical soft power and already printed all documents from Bumrungrad hospital. Due to high medical costs and co-pay from insurance, my foreign bank account can’t keep the same balance for months. I printed evidence of income with embassy signature. But if they still want to see a steady balance, I could print a sponsorship letter from relatives. I believe this was meant for emplpyers. Did someone try private sponsorship? I don’t like long bus trips and would prefer to avoid border jumps 🙏
