Medical treatment visa
Thailand has two medical visas. For treatment of 60 days or less, you apply for a tourist visa for medical treatment (MT). For longer treatment, you apply for a Non-O medical treatment visa. Both need a letter from a Thai hospital, and you can extend your stay in Thailand with a doctor's confirmation.
