As already advised, normally an agent would be the easiest way to go. Unfortunately, we are in difficult times at the moment. Hopefully, it won’t be for long.

Lucky on Soi Buakhao (LR Travel) is the most experienced Visa Agent in Pattaya. She is also known for having the lowest rates. Many repeat customers have become friends.

Yes, seriously. As another poster mentioned, revisiting a previous page caused change. No reasonable person would anticipate data changing if they hadn’t amended anything.

Thanks. Further confirmation that nobody should have their application rejected for website software failures.

Thanks for this. The information could assist Joe?

Thanks for your information. You most certainly shouldn’t have had to pay for a fresh application in the circumstances. Have you (or will you) try to obtain refund for your first application?

That’s for reporting in person (7 days after). Online is from 15 days before until 7 days before.

Anonymous participant Government (NHS) hospitals have a shared database. Private hospitals and High Street clinics (green signs written in Thai only) don’t. You need a Thai person to point you to the High Street clinic that specialises in your condition e.g. ENT, cardiac, gastrointestinal etc. These clinics are open restricted hours only as the doctors also work elsewhere. There are also High Street clinics with blue writing (again in Thai only). These are nurses clinics. They can diagnose, prescribe and dispense too.

The concept of registering on the panel of a General Practitioner (Family Doctors) surgery or group practice as in United Kingdom doesn’t exist in Thailand. When locals want to consult a GP they go to their local community Government (National Health Service) hospital. There is usually one GP on duty. They take a turn ticket and often wait all day. However, they (or you) will be seen that day. The GP will diagnose, prescribe and dispense medications from the hospital pharmacy. The cost is very low. There have been reports of expats being able to obtain medicines at Thai Government Hospitals for less than the pharmacies charge.
