I lwft through DMK and returned to BKK. Im allowed to use fast pass lane ( at least staff push my wheelchair through it). Only one question in blk: what’s the purpose of stay? My answer was correct:,longmedical treatment at bumrungrad, do you want to see the hospital documents? He smiled and stamped 180 days
I have umlauts (ä) in my passport and usually have to type ae into online forms instead. Otherwise it says invalid character lol. Years ago i had trouble with an airline because of that but never had this problem in asia. Thai embassy in Switzerland told me they know ae means ä and thry dont expect me to have any trouble which in the end was right. There’s not even a key for that in most computer keyboards. That’s when the check in guy in cyprus tried to find the Ä and let me on board
the hospital confirms that you’ll see a doctor there for medical treatment including your next appointment(s). I have to go for kidney transplant test every 3 months and my doc wrote that on official paper with stamp and signature which the embassy accepted
I stayed in the airport until the next plane back. As I travel with wheelchair, I can sit and wait anywhere. The little café made good business by refilling my ice teas 😂
Same same in Bangkok in February. The officer said day trip to Laos is the easiest way. I said this sounds only half-legal and i want to do it correctly. He smiled and said everything fine as long as i bring all the documents i just showed to him. Especially proof of reason why i stay in Thailand. I had a doctors letter explaining my treatment and a list of upcoming appointments he agreed that 30 days of 500k is stupid when I showed him a 200k medical bill. He doesn’t make the rules and explained it well and I never felt like he’s looking down on me like I’m sn unwanted foreigner. I thanked him and booked a return flight to vientiane during my BTS ride back to my condo. I took air asia from DMK to VTE and Laos airlines to BKK in the evening the same day. Spent 4 hours in the only coffee I found at wattay airport. They have good pork sausage spring rolls 🤣
