Hello, really sorry if this is an obvious question or stupid. I have done lots of research but not clear. I plan to come to Thailand on DTV to have surgery in Bangkok (will have proof). I need a specialist & waiting times in UK Via NHS is 18+ months, private costs are extortionate, whereas Bangkok, specialist consultant can see me within months and £10k rather than £20k+ in UK! Am I right that if my husband moves with me we EACH need £11k GBP in our bank accounts to meet DTV requirements and EACH need to apply for a DTV? Any advice / answers would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Maybe there is no answer to this… to get a medical DTV you need a doctors approval of some sort. Assume you have a legit issue for the visa, how is a doctor in thailand supposed to know it’s legit and can therefore sign the letter? Am I understanding right when i say the doctors letter almost necessitates a visit to thailand? So youd see the doctor, hed confirm your condition and that perhaps you need minimum say 6 months of appointments.

I just visited my dentist here in Thailand to ask for the documents required for the DTV visa. They scheduled appointments for a 6-month treatment plan but didn’t ask me to pay anything upfront. Is that normal? I even asked if I could pay something in advance 😂.

The staff told me I could pay whatever amount I wanted 😂. How much would it be reasonable to pay upfront in this situation?

Anyone experience with the 'medical' category?

I'm too sick for Muay Thai and don't like cooking.

I have contacted numerous hospitals. One replied initially but when I asked to confirm the appointments, they never replied.

Is it a mistake to mention the DTV? Better just ask for the apointments and not scare them? But I will need them to provide a nice paper with letterhead and all...

Please share Dr. recommendations in the chat. I'm mostly looking for nutrient testing and nutrition consulting.

Anybody had problems with Pacific Cross not paying hospital bills? Any advice? We are in the hospital and having problems with them paying the bill.

P.S. Please, I'm looking ONLY for opinions/advice from those who have or have had Pacific Cross insurance, not opinions of insurance or other companies to consider. So, no rants and opinions about the pros and cons of insurance. Thanks.

what health insurance do you use in thailand, what's the coverage and how much you pay monthly?

Update: I was able to get the price from Medisafe. Thanks to all for the help.

Hi, my family and I are moving to Thailand next year, and I've been working through all the logistics. I've been trying to get a rough estimate of what our various prescriptions will cost, and I've got most of them figured out well enough, except one. My mom has Parkinson's and takes a medication called Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa). Does anyone here have experience filing this medicine and how much it may cost or know a resource I could reach out to for pricing? She goes through around 180 pills per month (6/day).

Is there an Eye Doctor who can do a full medical eye exam (not glasses prescription) who is NOT in a hospital? Jomtien or Pattaya

Does anybody know where I can get a doctor to spray liquid nitrogen onto sun damaged skin. Thank you in advance.!!

Anyone done lasik here? What was the cost? Anyone know if the pricing is same for Thais and/or if their insurance covers it?
