yes, exactly, and the term cashless is predominantly a term used in the developing world, such as e.g. India, in the civilised world its commonly known as Direct Billing and is by far the standard. When that is said, some

policies will have a differentiated claim settlement between providers, with some being part of the direct billing network and others offering a claim process based on insurance holders fronting expenses. Saavy ?

sorry to hear, but its nothing new that your country isn’t geared to cater to other ideas than their own, unfortunately now it doesn’t work so well for the US of A to take a position of their way or the highway.

In my case the QR codes made the difference between an unprocessed application for 7 days and one that gave me a confirmation result in just 3 minutes… asia has been using QR codes for over a decade now, and its being used with great success for a wide variety of processes. In some places you cant even pass through without a QR code reader, for a period the Airport Authorities of Thailand even required a scanning a QR code at checkpoint to pass through to security and the Thailand Pass itself IS a QR code… so, I recommend getting familiar with it if you want to spend time in Asia 👍

@Phil ******

its not about needing, its about making it easy for them to process to reduce processing time, prevent processing fatigue and annoyance leading to them pushing your application to the bottom, etc… but you can keep insisting you dont need it, in the meantime we get buried in people from other countries that arent so arrogant, anyways, frankly its nice there arent so many people from the USA, so keep it up 👍

@Eri ***********

it made the difference between two applications for me

did you submit QR codes for your vaccine certification ?

Im assuming something would have transpired between the agent and the op., some “vague” messaging could be interpreted in many ways, but yeah, purely speculative, however several situations similar have found resolve to my knowledge through interaction with a lawyer using the full extend available, I remember elements such as intimidation and something about unlawlfull handing of identify documents, however, I guess when pressured, my information is a bit vague too 🤣

@Benjamin *****

1) what can be done about the overstay within the law ?

2) why is this not a possible criminal case ?

@Benjamin *****

what is wrong and incorrect ?

@Benjamin *****

well, waiting 8 months was voluntary, so by o.p.’s own design, I would imagine something can be done if turned into a legal case, there are some pretty advanced laws in Thailand which could be utilised, but will require to lawyer up and file a criminal case against the agency for conspiracy, intimidation, unlawlful handling of foreign identify documents, fraud, document forgery, etc. and possibly a few others…

@Benjamin *****

there is nothing to do about that, and that is his design, so nothing really to do about that
