International Patient Support

International patients by country

Select your passport country for planning guidance — hospital matching, appointments, flights, hotels, and transport in Bangkok.

Verify current entry rules on Thailand's official immigration channels before travel. We do not publish visa fees or processing times.

Medical facilitation for international patients in Thailand

Hospital Connect by Al Hakim supports overseas patients, expatriates and families living outside Bangladesh who want structured access to Bangkok's internationally accredited hospitals. Whether you are based in the Middle East, West Africa, Europe or elsewhere in Asia, we provide English-language coordination from first inquiry through treatment and follow-up.

We are not a hospital or clinic. We connect you with verified Bangkok partners, help you understand realistic costs and timelines, and arrange the non-clinical logistics that make international medical travel manageable — appointments, visa guidance where applicable, airport transfers and hospital-nearby accommodation.

Who we serve internationally

Our international desk works with patients who need a trusted coordinator on the ground in Thailand rather than navigating hospital systems alone. Common profiles include expatriate workers seeking elective surgery during leave, families flying a parent for cardiac or orthopedic care, couples planning IVF cycles, and patients referred by home-country specialists for second opinions in Bangkok.

While our roots are in Bangladesh medical travel, international patients receive the same hospital network, transparent communication standards and structured packages — with English as the primary coordination language.

• •Expatriates and overseas workers planning treatment during home leave
• •International families coordinating care for elderly parents
• •Patients referred for Bangkok second opinions or advanced diagnostics
• •Couples seeking IVF or fertility pathways with multi-visit planning
• •Corporate or insurance-assisted cases needing documented coordination

Hospital matching and appointment coordination

Bangkok offers dozens of international hospitals — choosing the wrong centre for your specialty can waste time and money. We review your available reports, treatment goal and budget tier, then recommend two or three hospitals that genuinely fit your case rather than a generic brochure list.

Once you select a direction, we support appointment scheduling with hospital international patient desks, clarify what documents to bring, and summarise the expected treatment pathway in plain English so you can plan leave, caregiver travel and finances confidently.

• •Specialty-aligned hospital shortlists — cardiology, orthopedics, IVF, oncology and more
• •Transparent discussion of elite vs value-focused hospital trade-offs
• •Appointment letter coordination for visa or employer documentation
• •Pre-travel checklist covering reports, medications and insurance questions

Travel, visa and accommodation support

International patients often need more than a hospital booking. We plan airport pickup on arrival, ground transfers between hotel and hospital, and stays within practical distance of your treating campus — whether that is Bumrungrad in Watthana, Samitivej on Sukhumvit or specialist centres across Bangkok.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and length of stay. We guide you on Thailand medical visa or appropriate entry pathways, hospital invitation letters and financial documentation — always clarifying that final visa decisions rest with Thai immigration authorities, not with us.

Communication and follow-up standards

International coordination demands clarity in writing. We confirm pickup times, hospital addresses, coordinator contacts and next appointment dates in English via WhatsApp or email so caregivers travelling with you stay informed even when clinical teams are busy.

After you return home, we remain available for non-clinical follow-up — forwarding reports to your home doctor, clarifying discharge paperwork, or helping plan a return visit if the hospital recommends further care.

Packages for international patients

Our Essential package covers hospital recommendation and appointment booking with visa document guidance. The Standard package adds airport pickup, hospital-nearby hotel coordination and on-ground interpreter support. The Premium VIP package includes a dedicated case manager and priority liaison with hospital international desks for complex or multi-week treatment plans.

Tell us your nationality, treatment type and travel dates on first contact — we will recommend the package tier that matches your case without upselling unnecessary services.

Common questions

Do you only serve Bangladeshi patients?

No. While we are headquartered in Sylhet and specialise in Bangladesh–Thailand medical travel, our international desk supports overseas and expatriate patients from any country seeking treatment in Bangkok.

What language do coordinators use for international cases?

English is the primary language for international coordination. Bengali support is also available when family members from Bangladesh travel with the patient.

Can you help with visa requirements for my nationality?

We provide general guidance on Thailand medical visa pathways and hospital invitation letters. Specific requirements vary by nationality — we confirm the latest checklist for your jurisdiction before you apply.

Do you handle insurance or payment to hospitals?

We coordinate information and logistics. Hospital bills are paid directly to the treating hospital according to their policies. We can help you understand typical cost ranges and documentation insurers may request, but we are not an insurer or payment processor.

How quickly can you respond to an international inquiry?

Most international inquiries receive an initial response within 24 hours on WhatsApp or email. Complex cases requiring multi-hospital review may take up to 48 hours for a detailed hospital shortlist.
