Hi, I started an orthodontic treatment in 2019 in Bangkok and I had to wait the end of the pandemic to return. Now that the rules loosened, I am planning to return and continue my treatment.

Does anyone know if a medical visa can be issued for this case? What documents are required? How long can I expect the visa period to cover?

Any help would be highly appreciated!! 🙏🏻

I actually have no clue on whether a medical visa can be issued from outside of Thailand. In Thailand if you have issues you can get a medical extension, using a doctors letter. They usually range from 30-90 days depending on the procedure.

It seems possible to apply for the visa in my home country.. I’ll contact them for more details. But doubt they will respond, so do not hesitate to share if you know more than I do!

@Stuart ********
so from what I understand, it’s better to come on a normal tourist visa and request a medical tourist visa once in the country?
