I provided them with a copy of my uk neurosurgeons report.

Bangkok international wrote a letter to the uk thai embassy confirming my appt with the spinal

Surgeon there.

Its immigration, so give them everything to evidence your case. Not like your giving it to a supermarket company.

Ps. Healthcare is phenomenal here.

Anonymous participant 470 doesn’t. DTV is a tourist visa.

My language school evaluates constantly.

Attendance below 80% and your ED visa gets cancelled.

I’m not on ED - but I’ve already seen 3 people with visas have their visas cancelled.

@Mo *****
they’re just people doing a crappy

Job to feed their families too. Make their life easy - never had any issues.

Did have one IO in Miami question me and my gf a lot because she was pretty and I’m not lol - suspected people trafficker maybe.

But it was just a few weeks holiday in key west, so it was what it was…. Just another dude doing his job - and if catches an actual people trafficker, I’m happy to have wasted 30 mins. It was still a wait for our bags anyway.

Didn’t lie to get mine - so, am happy to answer any questions from an official.

It’s common for IO’s to question at the border. Thats their job.

Any and all information available to them is usefull in this regard.

Presentation of yourself, your appearance, your confidence, with supplemental information at the ready should you need it, is always wise.

As you are on medical DTV, have copies of appointment slips, images of receipts etc, at the ready.

Sounds like they were guessing you were working the system.

As for medical. I’m on medical DTV too - but not a dentist appt. No issues at all.

And if they do ask for details - have hospital receipts photographed and you’re next check up appt - at the ready.

Honestly. Try just going to a pharmacist.

They are able to dispense a lot more than in the west - and as a result, their doctors focus on more serious stuff and are superb when you need them. So if you do need a doc - they will be excellent.

It’s a far better model - in my humble opinion.
