Long before patients ask detailed questions about their procedure, they ask a simpler one: what do I actually need to bring, and do I need a visa? These questions deserve straight answers just as much as the medical ones.
Do you actually need a visa for Türkiye or Thailand?
Visa requirements depend entirely on your nationality and change from time to time, so we won't guess here — many nationalities can enter Türkiye or Thailand visa-free or via e-visa for short stays, but you should always confirm current requirements directly with the relevant embassy or consulate before booking flights, not rely on a blog post to get this right for your specific passport.
What documents to bring, beyond your passport
- Any existing medical records or scans relevant to your treatment
- A current list of medications and known allergies
- Your travel insurance details and policy number
- Your coordinator's direct contact information
- A printed copy of your written, confirmed treatment quote
Travel insurance — a real gap worth covering yourself
HealVoyage does not provide travel insurance, and we're upfront about that: arranging your own policy that covers international travel and, ideally, complications related to planned medical treatment abroad, is worth the modest cost for genuine peace of mind.
What we handle so you don't have to
Flights, hotel, transfers and appointment scheduling are ours to manage. Visas and travel insurance are the two things every patient should personally confirm before departure — we'll remind you, but the responsibility for these two sits with you, not us.
