Good Morning Thailand Members

Fiance received packet 3 today.  I am flying to Thailand next week. We will meet in Bangkok to complete packet 3 requirements.  We want to do the Medical at the same time to avoid the cost of another round trip from southern Thailand to Bangkok.

Question:  Any Thailand members have any experience with doing the Medical before receiving the Packet 4?  I emailed the embassy last week about this but no reply as of today. 

Will hospital/doctor require the packet 4 before allowing to scheduling the medical?

 

Thanks

I completed i-134/tax transcript and assembled all Packet 3 documents I could and sent them to my fiancee by USPS Global Express....guaranteed 6 days, $65.  (they were late so got my money back.........twice !)   She just finished doing the DS-160........which she saved, I logged onto to check, and re-saved, and then she submitted.   She then logged onto the ustraveldocs.com/th site to register for the visa payment and printed off the instruction sheet and the bank deposit slip.  She then went to pay the application fee at Krungsi Bank.   Now, she is just waiting two days so that the payment confirmation shows up in the ustraveldocs.com site....which she will print off.   Once she had that, our packet 3 is complete.   (the final documents were DS-160 confirmation page, bank reciept, GSS confirmation of payment...all of which she had to do in Thailand) 

If you're flying over, make sure you look at the Packet 3 requirements and gather anything you need from US...........typically I-134 info.   You don't need to fly to Thailand and she does not need to go to Bkk to complete Packet 3.   With regard to the medical, I've heard different things, but my understanding is that you need the interview invite letter which comes in Packet 4.   Wonder if they offer the medical in Southern Thailand.

Hope that helps.

along the medical, Chiang Mai offers medical, but it takes 3-4 weeks, because they mail the urine sample to Bangkok for Gonorrhea analysis...so they gently suggested to fly to Bangkok where you can get it done in 2 days or less :D

Called Bumrungrad yesterday.  Hospital recommended medical appointment for March 7 to allow sufficient time for all test results to be completed before interview date of March 14.  Ok, at this stage of things we just want to geterdone.  We will fly to Bangkok from southern Thailand on March 6 and book a hotel until interview day then fly back to southern Thailand.  Staying in an inexpensive hotel for the week or so will just about equal the cost of taxi and another round trip ticket for us both.  12 days to D(ecision) Day!

Bummer!!  Had to cancel today's interview appointment due to medical issue discovered during medical on March 7.  Immediately emailed the embassy on March 7 requesting a new interview date.  Haven't heard anything from them over the past week.

 

Suggestions?

We had to cancel our March 14 appointment.  We sent a notification to the email address shown in the Packet 4 instructions (visasbkk@state.gov) to notify of our need to cancel and to request a new date.

 

As per my post above, we didn't receive any reply.  Went to the traveldocsth site and emailed again regarding the status after a week. We used the email shown there:  visasbkkiv@state.gov. and received a response within hours and after some back and forth via email, received a new interview date today. 

 

I pointed out the difference to the embassy in the email address in the packet 4 instructions and the one we were using to communicate, perhaps there is an error in the instructions?

 

Whatever, the Embassy has been very responsive.  Recommend Packet 4 folks in Thailand mark the  visasbkkiv@state.gov to communicate with the embassy.

Just got our Packet 4 directions today and I notice the correct email address is now there. They received our P3 on Monday, sent an Interview email Tuesday, and have the interview next Wednesday morning... that sure was fast. Only a week to do the medical and get ready. Hope the shots aren't an issue!
