What should I do if my Thai visa application was denied due to a doctor not being listed on a clinic's website?

@Janelle ****

they've asked for that because you couldn't be bothered to bring proper documentation (which is not a printed off email, screenshot etc). They're actually trying to help you. If the dodgy clinic you had booked in with was worth anything, they would actually update their website for you. Of course, another reason the doctor isn't listed is because they don't actually work for the clinic and are just some locum rubberstamping tourist visa applications.

@Janelle ****

it's not an ignorant comment if you won't name it. I think you owe me an apology. The process in Thailand for any government department to enquire about a medical licence is to make an application to the provincial Ministry of Public Health. The Medical Council of Thailand is an arm of the government. The only public register is by a third party and is very partial. It is not an official register. Ok. You were lead into an office with some nice certificates hanging up, and your measure of the competence if a physician is whether they speak English or not, which saves you from speaking slowly and loudly at these pesky foreign doctors. So apparently only good doctors speak da English. You're embellishing the story a bit. You saw ther doctor in person during a beach holiday to attend to the chronic illness you have, but forgot to get official documentation pertaining to your treatment plan and are now whining that diplomats in Taiwan are not frantically on the phone calling ministries to validate your poor copies of documents, and that they had the audacity not to believe you and let you into Thailand for 180 days. You feel you are entitled to go to Thailand. You are entitled.

@Janelle ****

Still think you are trying to game the system just to live in Thailand on your Bitcoin pile. Got a potty mouth as well. The Medical angle is creating an excuse for some people.

@Janelle ****

why should they look up a medical licence? And to check medical licences they would need to make an application to the provincial MoPH. It's not that straightforward. Again, the onus is on you to prove the veracity of your application. There is no Right of entry to Thailand. I mentioned notarized documents which you dismissed, because "they never asked for it". A notary establishes the legality of any document. It's a belt and braces approach, which if you followed you might not have felt the need to whine to Facebook strangers about it.

@Janelle ****

Well they don't accept your doctor.

No need to call me stupid I don't make the rules you🤡

@Michael ********

no, it was los angeles, online

@John ******

I think not having the original stamp is what triggered this whole thing. Lesson learned for everyone here.

@Davion *****

ok, thanks for your reply. The reason I asked about sponsor letter on the e-visa portal, at least in the UK it says sponsor letter and I was wondering what they mean by this. Will have to clarify it with the London visa Dept. When you say one month bank statement, I presume showing earnings from your remote job, yes?

@Davion *****

thank you! Was it the embassy in LA where you applied?

@Ajané *********

yes

@Janelle ****

I redacted my transactions and only had the starting/ending balance + account info shown. You might want to take two copies, one redacted/one original just incase. Every embassy is different

@Janelle ****

@Davion *****

more embassies, that are still accepting in person, are asking for you to log in and show since people have been "manipulating" documents.

@Janelle ****

yeah guess that’s just the embassy’s requirement in Taiwan

@John *********

"They advised me to come back with the original stamp (which I have but no with me)"

That's why...

@Stephan **********

Well, anyone can fake a stamp. That's why they ask for the original. That's not their issue, but yours.

@Bonnie ********

yep. Rereading it i suspect they just wanted to verify the statements

@John *********

But that’s what they were told, all they have to do is comply.

@Bonnie ********

Did I say something different?

@Stephan **********

I saw that for the medical treatment and I can understand that. I was referring to the bank statements

@Rogerio *****

@Rogerio *****

absolutely serious. And ‘they tend to prioritize short term benefits’ is just naive nonsense.

@LaMechelle *******

They didn’t say it was not in their system but that the doctor listed on his form is not listed on the hospital’s website, implying that they think it might be a fake letter

@Janelle ****

That's not their job. The onus is on you. Visas are a privilege not a right

@Janelle ****

You responding to me with that stupid suggestion. I suggested it's not up to them to conduct detective work to validate your alleged medical needs and alleged booked medical treatments. You have to provide the proof through a notary. Somewhat curious what medical treatment in Thailand is not available in the Republic of China. Or is this a ruse to lie on a beach?

@Janelle ****

ok, I will take your word for it that you have a medical condition thst requires traveling from Taiwan to Thailand for essential treatment. Prescriptions though do not normally need visits to hospitals. Taiwan has pharmacies as well.

You know what the problem is so obviously no need to ask a group.

@Janelle ****

My bad. Didn’t even look at the name. Can you ask the hospital to update their website?
