I would just like to enquire if any of our members are on on DTV 5year multiple entry Medical Tourist Visa. One of the requirements is a letter of invitation from a hospital in Thailand. I am looking at setting up in Jomtien area or south of their. I am a diabetic. Can you recommend a world class hospital possibly that has a section suited for diabetic care that I can inspect and ask for a letter?You not require medical insurance, but as a safety net I would like to be covered for incidents like road accidents , Physio, Choiro.I am assuming medical insurance may be difficult to get if you have a pre-existing condition like diabetes. I am reaching out as a diabetic as I monitor my HB1AC every 3 months, yearly ophthalmologist checks, podiatry checks, exercise programs, etc. I realise the Hospitals are all world class in Thailand, but I am looking at Specific diabetic treatment from members who suffer from this chronic disease. If you use annother facility , not in the Jomtien area of Thailand please share or PM me direct.If you could share a name of medical insurer that has the best benefits for Diabetes would be appreciated as well as a hospital clinic would be appreciated. I believe you need less money in the Thai Bank Account which means the rest of the money can be earning interest from the country come from. Please PM if you are on a Medical Tourist Visa.

World Medical Hospital in Cheangwattana has good Diabetic treatment for foreign patients, all doctors speak excellent English but I wonder if DTV could be issued for treatment of diabetes!

also age is relevant and as said no one will cover that sort of pre existing condition. They will cover things like a leg broken ten years ago with a rod in it...thats a prexisting condition but not likely to cause problems

I doubt DTV for existing well managed condition. Its not for treatment but monitoring and that wont get DTV

I have a 100% success rate. Omce they complained that the prescription for epilepsy drugs didn’t come from a neurologist so they had to request an email from one to confirm my condition. Probably one of the highest priced options available but totally worth the pain in my wallet

And monitoring can be a blood test every six months for some conditions. I get checked once a year. You cannot get a medical DTV for check ups thats ridiculous. If you believe that you are mistaken. It would mean every person getting a regular check for any condition would be eligible for a DTV. Thats nonsense since millions would be eligible. I would seriously question your insurance. I pay a fortune for the best cover you can get and it does not cover most pre existing conditions.

the topic is health insurance. Whether you get accident insurance from your bank is irrelevant.

Type 2 can be self-managed in Thailand. You should have a kit to monitor A1C weekly, not every 3 months. Recommend walking at least 4.8 km+ daily. Watch your sodium intake, no rice, flour, sugar, and other things not recommended. It is up to you to have a healthy lifestyle. Make sure you try to find sources for your meds here in Thailand, if you cannot have them sent from Australia.
