Seeking advice for something a bit urgent. My wife will have her medical check at Bumrungrad in order to get the CR1 visa (marriage) to go to America. For this she needs all vaccinations. She has no record of these. Bumrungrad can do the whole process but if we get the vaccines there it will be around 30k total for the health check + vaccines

I’ve been recommended by another expat to first go to a government hospital to get an antibody test to see what vaccines are already in my wife’s system (she lost her records). Then we can see what she needs and have it done cheaper outside of Bumrungrad

I’m wondering if anyone else has done this process for their spouse and if you have any advice. Just looking for the most cost effective way.

The medical exam itself can only be done at two hospitals and this was confirmed by the embassy

Thank you

Here in Australia and went for the medical for Non O-A today. The doctor was pretty amazed at the things he had to check, like drug addiction... “how do I test for that, ask you to tell me honestly?” The TB test is one that can take 1-2 weeks for the results and very few labs do it. He said he knows what leprosy and elephantiasis are but has never seen a case. What are other people’s experience with this?
