A question regarding medication.

I'm type 1 diabetic and as such in the UK all my prescriptions are free.

How do you go about 'transfering' my prescription and what are the costs like?

Everything looks good.

But the Canada embassy requested two more documents.

The license for the clinic, and Thai ID of the doctor.

I assume they want to assure it’s a real clinic

So far the doctor doesn’t want to give ID because of possible scam And also they don’t want to scan business license but someone can come in and take photo of it.

I didn’t expect these issues from this clinic. So I’m not sure what I am going to do next.

I certainly can’t give up, this is my second time applying because the first one I made a mistake!

THAI DENTISTRY

Used to be dental treatments in Thailand were both cheaper and (reputably) at least as good as I could hope for in the UK.

Is that still the case?

Or am I as well to get it done back home?

Better to seek out a chain or an independent (I'm staying predominantly in Kanchanaburi Province)?

Any personal advice and or evidence based recommendations sincerely appreciated.

Please don't bother telling me I should go to Taiwan, or elsewhere.

Thanks.

I am preparing to apply for a DTV visa for medical purposes. I have a few questions to ask you:

1. Is there anyone who has successfully applied for a DTV visa for medical purposes? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?

2. In the first item of Support Document, Biodata page of Passport or Travel Document, do I only need to submit the first page of my passport? Or all pages of my passport?

3. In the fifth item, Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or letter of appointment from hospital/medical center, do I need other documents in addition to the doctor's certificate from the hospital and the appointment form issued by the doctor?

4. In the option of Employment Details, I chose self-employment with an annual income of less than US$20,000. Is this option okay?

Health Insurance requirement? My US Federal health insurance (FEHB) that I will take into retirement has Bangkok Hospital contracted via Anthem BCBS (Bangkok, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, and Phuket). Does this meet the requirements to carry health insurance on a retirement visa?

Repost. 🚑 Did you know you can get discounted health care, (possibly free) health care in Thailand if you donate blood? For Non-Citizens too!

Includes Child-Birth costs.

Discover the power of compassion with the Red Cross in Thailand! 🇹🇭

💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

Discounted health care for regular blood donors. Both Citizens and Non-Citizens.

For those who have been around the group a while, you'll know we had some info a few months back that the Thai Red Cross actually provides discounted health care to those who regularly give blood. The Admin of the Thai Citizenship Facebook Group wrote this article.

Hi! Does anyone know the process of getting a medical extension on my visa, I’m meant to leave on the 4th , but in the past 2 days I’ve got a bad infection that’s left me unable to walk/ sit down & im on antibiotics. I saw a clinic, who visited my hotel room not a hospital. I don’t think I’ll be able to fly for at least another week, but I don’t want to commit to flights incase it takes longer to heal.

Thanks!
