Bumrungrad Hospital Photo Size requirement

[JoelThai 313]

My question is during the medical examination, how many and what size photos did your Fiancee´submit during their examination at Bumrungrad?

 

My Fianceé will perform her medical evaluation at Bumrungrad Hospital.  While reviewing the BKK Embassy "Instructions for Medical Examination" I see that it it is stated that my Fiancee´ is asked to bring four (1.5 x 2 inches) photographs to the examination with her. 

 

I think I read on the forum that an applicant noted that 2 x 2 inch photos were also accepted at Bumrungrad, but I am now unable to locate the posting.   We just had a set of 2 x 2 photos produced, so I will likely have a second set produced at 1.5 x 2 inches, or just cut down 4 of the 2 x 2's I already have if the 1.5 x 2 are necessary.   

 

Any comments specific to experience with this topic at Bumrungrad is appreciated.

I would provide exactly what the OFFICIAL source says.

Yes, following directions is always the best choice.   One of my motivations for the question is that the Bangkok Embassy instructions for photo requirements for the K1 medical (non-immigrant visa) differ from the CR1 medical (immigrant visa).

 

For the CR1 they state to submit "Four (4) recently taken passport-sized color photographs"

Immigrant Instructions. (Click on the Medical Instructions Button)

 

For K1 they state to submit "Four (1.5 x 2 inches) photographs (taken less than 6 months)"

Non-Immigrant (K1) Visa Instructions

 

1.5 x 2 inch is neither a passport sized photo for the US or Thailand, so it seems a bit odd.   Lacking better information, we will bring both sizes "just in case".

I found the posting I was looking for.   For what it is worth...  the poster notes that they will take either 1.5 x 2 inch or 2 x 2 inch.

I think I will plan to have my Fianceé bring both sizes and see what they prefer.

Out of curiosity, what size photos did the hospital prefer?

Our appointment for the exam will be next Sunday.   But when I scheduled the appointment, they said that 1.5" x 2" is the correct size.   I should be able to confirm that 1.5" x 2" is acceptable next week.   But based on input I have received from others, either size is probably acceptable.    (1.5" x 2" or 2" x 2")

My fiance' called and asked what size they want.  Answer:  1.5x2.   She then asked if 2x2 is OK.  Answer:  Either size is OK.

Since I started this thread, I can now confirm that Bumrungrad Hospital does accept 1.5" x 2" photos as stated in the Embassy Instructions.    During my call to confirm my financee's appointment, they stated as a reminder to bring four 1.5" x 2" photos which my Fiancee delivered to the hospital today during her scheduled exam.

 

To produce the 1.5" x 2" photos, I trimmed 1/4" of the left and right sides of four of the same set of 2" x 2" photos which we included in our Packet 3 submission and will be brought to the interview.
