I am in the USA now. I had a bad rotator cuff tear that looks like it will need surgery and therapy. With no insurance I want to go straight to BKK.

I have already been in and out of Thailand 5 times within a year. So I don’t get turned around at immigration and can stay full length of treatment I would like to apply for medical visa.

Every Thai embassy website asks for 2 things.

1. appointment letter with treatment details

2. Hospital / medical facility registration certificate

Every hospital wants to offer me an appointment slip and a letter with treatment details. Every hospital is also confused by the meaning of #2 above. I understand #2 to mean the certificate they get from government agency to be a medical facility.

Does anyone know what I need to submit? I’m in pain and the visa application already takes 10 days. Trying to get this right the first time. Thanks in advance.🙏🙏

Not sure if this the right group to ask but the gang here is so knowledgeable. Do I need to bring visa and/or US passport and/or other papers to the hospital when my child is born? One site said I needed to have my passport "certified"?(people must mean a certified COPY) And the copy officially translated by MFA so my name could go on the birth certificate? Doctors and nurses at the clinic also had different answers. If it's too far off topic I apologize.
