What You Need To Know About Getting Travel Ready
There are a number of very important things you need to know and do in preparation for your surgery journey in Thailand. If you require clarity about any of the items outlined here, please don't hesitate to call your Client Manager.
BOOKING FLIGHTS
When booking, full-service (non-budget) flights offer greater comfort when returning home post-surgery.
TRAVEL COMPANION OPTIONS
If taking a companion, for a fee of $499 your companion will receive:
- Shared Airport-Hotel-Hospital transfers with you
- Shared accommodation in your hotel room
- Buffet breakfast daily at the hotel
- Hospital accommodation on day bed during your hospital stay
Please Note: If your companion would prefer to stay at the hotel during this time, this can be arranged for an additional fee.
If you wish to bring children to Thailand, which is not advisable, please be aware that you must also have an adult traveling companion present to care for them at all times. Some hospitals do not allow children under 16 years to be on the premises.
PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS
WHAT TO PACK
COVID-19 REQUIREMENTS
It is very important that all clients travelling to Thailand:
- Complete a COVID-19 test before travelling to Thailand, even if you are not exhibiting any symptoms. Remember also that patients can test positive for up to three months after a previous infection.
- If you test positive before travelling, please contact your Client Manager to discuss surgery amendment options – please note, our Cancellation & Amendment Policy applies.
- Rescheduling your surgery will also depend on your health, the availability of your Surgeon and the hospital, and the nature of your surgery, as some procedures (ie Rhinoplasty) may require a more extended period post-infection.
MEDICATION TRAVEL CERTIFICATES
- Visit your GP to obtain a Medical Certificate that includes what each medication is, the dose, and that it is intended for personal use. At the same time, ask your GP to ensure your medication is legal in Thailand.
- Ensure all medication is in its original packaging
- Only take enough medicine for the duration of your trip
TRAVEL INSURANCE
Please note that travel insurance is NOT related to, or associated with, the CosMediTour Surgery Travel Back Warranty.
