Getting there & getting around

Visa & paperwork
Entry requirements depend on your nationality and the destination. A handful of nationalities need an e-Visa or consular visa; where one is required, the partner clinic issues a signed medical-purpose invitation letter to support your application.
Best months to travel
Higher bar = better month (a combination of weather and clinic availability). Availability typically dips over the summer holiday weeks, so shoulder-season months are often the sweet spot.

FAQ
Do I pay GetClinic anything?
No — GetClinic is free for patients. Clinics pay to be vetted; we take no per-patient cut, so there's no incentive to push you toward a more expensive option.
When do I pay the clinic?
Most patients hold their booking with a small or zero deposit and pay the balance around the procedure — the exact schedule depends on the clinic. You can cancel within the clinic's stated window for a refund.
How do you decide which clinics to shortlist for me?
A medical coordinator reads your case personally and matches on surgeon experience, availability in your travel window, accreditation level and language — not an algorithm.
Is aftercare included?
Yes — 12 months of aftercare: daily check-ins for the first two weeks, scheduled monthly video reviews, and GetClinic Care complication cover.
Why is treatment in Thailand more affordable?
Lower facility and labour costs and higher procedure volume — not lower standards. Partner clinics in Thailand use the same equipment, materials and accreditations as clinics at home.
