TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the types of visas available for individuals seeking medical treatment in Thailand. It highlights that a tourist visa can be issued for medical needs lasting less than 60 days, while a Non-Immigrant visa is suitable for medical needs exceeding 60 days. The commenter advises consulting the Thai consulate for specific requirements and mentions the possibility of using a 'regular' tourist visa to enter Thailand and then apply for an extension based on medical needs.

sorry

just want to check, you're asking about getting medical TREATMENT here in thailand, not about coming here and working in the medical field right? 🙂

it's not a long procedure or recovery time,

just apply for a regular single entry tourist visa

That gets you 60 days when you show up and you can extend that one time for 30 more days. 90 days should be plenty of time to get LASIK then recover enough to fly

they do issue a tourist visa for medical needs of less than 60 days and a Non-Immigrant 90 day visa for medical needs of more than 60 days.

You would have to go to the thai consulate you're going to apply at and see what the requirements are for each one

OR

just get a "regular" tourist visa (for tourism) come in and get the documentation from the treating hospital/doctor for the extension based on medical reasons inside the country after you're here at the immigration office
