@Craig ********
Quite a bit of medical treatments are cheaper (without insurance) in for example Germany compared to Thailand. My spine surgery was about the same in Bangkok as Germany for example

Dental care also similar in Thailand va Germany and The Netherlands

Compared with US, literally everywhere is cheap.

compared to Europe healthcare in Thailand isn’t cheap. Quite the opposite.

that depends on the embassy you apply. I did mine in Jakarta, and was based on a single appointment. Initial consultation with neurosurgeon in my case

Well its 800k in a THAI bank account (and need to sit in the account for a couple months in advance before you apply ) , or 65K a month coming from a foreign bank account to a thai banking account (If your embassy in Thailand issue income verification, not all do)

However if I were you I’d look into DTV visa based on medical treatment. Its allot less hassle. Just getting a Thai Bank account alone is not easy….

at least for medical it was very friendly. All they cared about was sufficient bank balance and a single medical appointment.

I will make sure I actually have a appointment when I arrived. Although the visa itself just say DTV, pretty sure immigration can see it was based on medical

Enjoy Jakarta, underrated city to explore. And great food scene
