Visa medical ? Thailand

[joymike 0]

My fiancee is a month or so away from getting packet 3. She lives in Pattaya and we were wondering if there is a facility in pattaya to get the visa medical?

How long does it take to get an appointment after you first call?

How long does it generally take for the visit if she does or does not get shots now? 1 hour 3 hours or 1 day?

Do you have to have the forms in hand from embassy to get medical? or can you make appt. ahead of time?

Same with police check, do you need embassy forms or can you go on you own to file for police report?

It looks like the only doctors chosen by the embassy/consulate are in either Chiang Mai or Bangkok.

Look here for more information on how the Thailand embassy/consulate handles the medical and interviews. http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/inde...amp;cty=Bangkok

She will need to go to BNH or Bumrumgrad Hospital in Bangkok (unless she is travelling to Chang Mai). No appointment necessary (Rin and her children all went without an appointment and were finished within 2 - 3 hours, including shots). I believe the exam for Rin was about 3,000 THB, but vaccines added another 3,500 THB.

Regarding forms, I downloaded from the embassy website when Rin went (in April), and had the embassy e-mail them to me when the children went (in September) for their medical exam. One of the forms for the children had expired, the doctor pointed it out before signing it, but it wasn't an issue for the embassy.

Don't need anything from the embassy for the police report. Just go with ID to police HQ (I think it is on Ploenchit Road in Bangkok) and request a report for getting a visa to the USA. They will know what she wants. She will have to return 10-14 days later to pick it up.

The following this is my experience

It seems that her nearest hospitals are in BKK. I made an appt. by phone call for 2 days before I went there.They needed some info from me for the registration. I called them because I needed to specify the Dr. I wanna check with. I spent a few hours at the hospital ( 10.30am - 1pm- - got the result) and my bill was 2,857 baht (X-ray, blood test, 2 shots). I had the physical check after I got the package 3 from the embassy. They used those forms in the package...There's 1 form that needs 1" foto too!! ( Luckily I found 1 photo in my purse!! ) She can download forms from website but anyway the hospital will provide them 25 Bht/form (maybe).

At the police, she doesn't need any form. She will fill the forms at the station. Prepare copies of her passport, ID card and house registration too.

Both police & medical check were done in the same day...I started with the police first then the hospital later.

Hope she will receive P3 soon. Good luck!!

just a tip that worked really well for us, when i made the appt. for my now husband i did it online so i had a very easy time choosing specific drs./dates and times. the nice thing about bumrungrad's website is you can get background info on the website.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
