I'm applying for soft power for medical treatments from Australia, my question at the moment is about the 500kTHB, we only have a joint bank account as I don't work, I am fully supported by my husband, is that ok for the application, once approved, will be applying for my husband via the spouse route

Hello, I am a 33 year old Norwegian. My father has lived in Thailand for 12 years, he is in the hospital, and has been for 4 months. To me it would seem he will be staying for a long time.

I have to stay here and be financially responsible for him. Is there any emergency medical visas? I've tried asking at the local immigration, but no one understood English. Is the border run to Laos or Cambodia for a 3 month visa my most reliable way?

Thank you

Hi all, has anyone got experience of applying for a Thai Medical Visa in Laos (Vientiane)?

My wife is Ethiopian so visas are harder than for most. She needs an operation, we attended the pre-op consultation at Bumrungrad today, plan to spend a month in Laos then back to Bangkok for the operation. Suspect a Medical might be easier to obtain than a Tourist visa for an Ethiopian.

Addendum - anyone know what the hospital invite letter should contain? Bumrungrad seem confused on this.

Thanks
