I’m on the last part of my DTV. I’m 70 and going for medical. I submitted my letter from my doctor in Thailand. They are asking for specifics on my care. The particulars seem intrusive. Has anyone else cone across this?

“Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center: The doctor's appointment letter should include details about the disease you are being treated for (What is the treatment for? How necessary is it to see a doctor for continuous treatment? appointment date ,time, and doctor's name”

I have a retirement Visa that expires in April 2026. The quotes that I’ve had from the UK Internet search using the likes of compare the market for long-term health insurance are over £1800 (72k baht) for a single trip annual policy.

I will be coming out in late October for approximately six months and wondered if there were any local insurance companies who might be cheaper.

I am 68 and have no long-term health issues and would appreciate if anyone has any contacts so I could message/email them to get some local quotes.

I am in Jomtien and am having GERD-like symptoms that persist. Can anyone recommend a reputable medical facility for DX/treatment?

Has anyone got the DTV for medical treatment? What were the concerns or lessons learned?

Thinking to go down the soft power route as I will be fairly new to the freelance world around the time I intend to apply for the dtv visa. Would medical sessions at a hospital in Thailand fall under soft power activities? (More for cosmetic reasons) Been looking into healthcare over there and keen to get on board. Applying through London embassy. Thanks

Are there any specific doctors or even hospitals that you all may recommend in bangkok if wanting to apply for the soft power option via medical? Thanks for any input.

I would be interested to hear from anybody who has decided to self insure in Thailand. I am 67, married to a Thai national, speak Thai and willing to use public health care, as my partner does. Thanks in advance.

This post only has value for US citizens who stay in Thailand 6 months or less per year and are using a Medicare advantage plan. These are my reimbursements from Medicare advantage from United Healthcare. As you can see, I was already reimbursed by the plan.

Has anyone applied using dental? If so was your dental plan for a specified period? 6 months 1 year? Were you easily approved?

Good morning to all in Thailand. I am inquiring about visa requirements: is a physical therapy clinic categorized under the medical section of the visa or are specific requirements necessary for that section of the visa?
