Medical DTV Visa Thailand

Get Your Destination Thailand Visa for Medical Treatments

If you’re planning to travel to Thailand for medical treatment, the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) offers an easier and longer stay option. Designed for wellness travelers, medical tourists, and long-stay visitors, the DTV makes it simple to receive world-class healthcare and recover comfortably in Thailand.

What Is the DTV Visa?

The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a long-term visa introduced by the Thai government in 2024 to attract international visitors coming for medical, wellness, and lifestyle purposes.

The DTV visa is valid for five years from the date of issue. During this period, you can enter Thailand multiple times, and on each entry, you may stay for up to 180 days. Your stay can also be extended once for another 180 days, allowing a maximum stay of 360 days per visit.

This makes the DTV visa perfect for people who plan:

  • Long or repeated medical treatments in Thailand

  • Follow-up visits after surgery or rehabilitation

  • Extended recovery stays or wellness programs

Whether you visit once a year or come back regularly for treatments, the DTV gives you the flexibility to manage your medical travel conveniently within a single five-year visa.

Why Choose a DTV Visa for Medical Travel?

Thailand is one of the top destinations in the world for medical tourism, known for high-quality healthcare, modern hospitals, and affordable treatment costs.
The DTV visa enhances this by giving you more time and greater flexibility than a standard tourist visa.

Advantages of using the DTV visa for your medical stay:

  • Stay longer without needing visa runs or extensions every 30 days

  • Schedule consultations, treatments, and follow-up visits in one trip

  • Recover in comfort with access to Thailand’s wellness resorts and clinics

  • Bring family members or a companion with you under the same visa type

Whether you’re coming for preventive care, cosmetic surgery, or complex medical treatments, the DTV visa provides a smooth, legal, and practical way to stay in Thailand throughout your recovery.

DTV Visa Requirements

To qualify for a DTV visa, you’ll need to meet the following conditions:

  • A passport valid for at least 6 months from your travel date

  • Health insurance covering at least 50,000 USD

  • Proof of purpose of stay, such as:
