Thinking about applying through the medical route, appreciate any help.  

I need ongoing cardiology/pathology appointments and checkups for a pre-exisiting chronic genetic condition, so this could  be a good option for me. 

Anyone applied through this route successfully with the London embassy? I'm back in the UK atm.  

Thinking about booking future appointment for my condition with a Bangkok hospital and using that, thoughts? Don't want to waste £s with an app that could get rejected.  Some people said they presented treatment plans? not sure how that would work if you haven't yet had the initial consultation 

Thanks for any help

The user is considering applying for a medical visa due to ongoing cardiology and pathology appointments necessary for a chronic genetic condition. While currently in the UK, they seek advice, particularly from those who have successfully applied through the London embassy. They are contemplating booking future appointments in Bangkok to support their application and are unsure how to present treatment plans without prior consultations. Comments reveal others have successfully applied using medical certificates from multiple appointments.

I got mine through diffrent dental appointments over a 6 month period. At first I sent them 3 appointment cards but asked for a singed stamped letter.

They writ me a medical certificate stating treatment and hospital stamp and signed

ok thanks for the info. I’m trying to get the visa done before I leave the uk again. If I have to get the initial consult in Thailand guess I will have to go apply for the visa in a nearby country.

If you are open to applying from a nearby country, maybe consider Jakarta. I successfully applied there based on an appointment at a hospital in Bangkok for consultation regarding a pre-existing condition. I understand that at least one other person has documented a similar application. Good 🤞

thanks that sounds good, so you just had a single appointment for a consultation and they approved you on that basis?

Anonymous participant Yes, that's right. I also had a letter from my doctor confirming a pre-existing condition. From reading through past threads, Jakarta is relatively straightforward.
