FAQ - Medical Repatriation from Thailand and Laos

Is medical repatriation possible from Laos?

At this time, AMAR Assistance directly organizes medical repatriation only from Thailand, where we have specialized medical and logistical teams.
From Laos, we do not provide this service directly. However, families are encouraged to contact us. We offer guidance and connect them with trusted partners to ensure each situation receives a safe, appropriate, and respectful solution.

In theory, yes. In practice, administrative, medical, and aviation procedures are highly complex and must be coordinated within a very short timeframe. Any mistake can result in delays of several days, with serious consequences for the patient’s health.

Costs depend on multiple factors, including the patient’s medical condition, travel distance, and whether an air ambulance is required. We always provide a transparent and detailed quote. In some cases, part or all of the cost may be covered by travel insurance.

Depending on the patient’s condition and flight availability, repatriation can be organized within a few hours to several days. Our priority is to act as quickly as possible to secure both the patient’s transport and health.
