What do I need to apply for a Thai medical tourism visa for treatment of trauma, injuries, and weight issues?

Question

Hey all!

I am looking into which DTV option to apply for. My preference is medical tourism as there are a number of things I want to get treatment for trauma and also some physical injuries I have - back, knee. I am also looking at trying to lose weight as that has become an issue for me and recently had some tests done that showed I'm at risk of developing obesity related illnesses. Could any of these be something I use for a medical tourism visa? What exactly would I need for that application? And if I am given the visa am I tied to only getting treatment with a certain provider? Trying to ascertain if I can find a different provider if I am not satisfied with their service and whether that will affect my visa?

The user is exploring the medical tourism visa (DTV) to seek treatment for trauma and physical injuries, as well as weight loss due to health concerns. They inquire about the requirements for the application, including documentation needed from medical providers and whether they can change providers after obtaining the visa without it affecting their status.

Go to a clinic, get yourself checked and ask for a medical letter with a detailed treatment plan and appointments for at least 9 months ahead. Most of the clinics are not familiar with DTV and the requirements so they might not be able to provide you the proper documentation requested by the Consulate/Embasy. The clinics which are familiar with DTV are going to ask you for a downpayment of about 40.000 baht in the exchange of the detailed treatment plan. So good luck

I think you have to come to Thailand to get review and treated by a doctor and they can work out a treatment plan for you long term. Then go out of Thailand and apply DTV but make sure you have all the documentation from the doctor and of course all the necessary documentation needed for the DTV application.

Based on what you shared, which is sort of vague and could go in several directions, plan for a tourist visit to check out some

Medical clinics. You can research online, but you will need a treatment plan that would span many months, six or more. Would likely involve setting up the treatments plan in advance and some payments.
