I went to an appt with an Endocrinologist in BKK to refill my meds, the Dr recommended testing every 3 months. I asked the hospital if they can write a letter for visa support and this was their reply:

"Greetings from Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital.

Regrettably, we do not have service to provide letter for visa application.

We could only provide you medical certificate and you may contact Embassy for more information and further assistance."

Is this normal? Is the medical certificate enough? Should I try another hospital?

Hi All

Aussie here , going to apply for a Long Stay OA visa , all requirements including medical no issue , except I’m time poor (long story) and to get a chest X-ray will be a bit of a hassle (anyone in Australia knows this 😉) , my question is , has anyone received an OA visa recently without a X-ray? Is it worth the risk to submit without the X-ray ? Or do I just did to make the time and get it done ?

Thanks for the advice

Has anyone here with a DTV been able to get a Thai driver’s license? If so what did you do , documents needed ?

I’m applying for a multi non imm O in UK. I don’t recall the medical certificate necessary before. I have had this visa before. Is it necessary and how did you fulfill the requirements in UK?

Newly settled in Bangkok, I’m told that I can show my Califonia Drivers License at the DLT and they accept it for granting a Thai Drivers License/ID Card. What other docs, paperwork or other requirements besides Passport must be in-hand before showing up to apply for a Thai Dr. License?

Hello all. I've suffered a pulmonary embolism and cannot travel due to illness. I've been bedridden since returning from hospital.

Is there a visa extension to apply for? If so what is the TM to apply for? Australian passport and in Bangkok.

Unfortunately, I leave Bangkok in a few days and no time left to make a dental appointment, but will be in Pattaya for two months. Any recommendations on a dentist in Pattaya whose providing necessary documents to get approved for the DTV?

I am applying for a Thai driver's license for the first time. I have an American driver's license/motorcycle license and an IDP. Questions:

If I have a work permit, is it true I don't need the residency certificate?

I read I have to get my license certified by the embassy? Is this true even with an IDP?

Having an American motorcycle license and IDP, will I still have to take the written and practical tests? I've heard different answers on this. I'm guessing it depends on the office? I'll be applying on Samui.

Many thanks!

Hi everyone

Hello, my daughter has her tourist visa expired since 30th of October, but she has hospitalized since the day before and we have a medical certificate.

What should we do? My guess is just by showing to the immigration at the airport with medical certificate we would not get the overstay stamp. Is that correct?

As she need to go out and we need to do a non O, could the overstay be a problem on that process?
