I read from somewhere (maybe the recent news article featuring Phuket IO) that you can self-report via TM28 form. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

Check with your local IO. Good luck.

Congrats!

The problem lies with the head doctor. It seems if he says no, no other doctors will disobey him. The embassy has just told me via FB Messenger that their medical certificate can be amended by the doctor accordingly, thankfully. I thought we would have to go to Nuffield or some other private hospital then.:)

Got a new solution from the embassy. I will update my post :)

@Dan *****

I know. But he suffers from a serious case of diabetic neuropathy (many Pain clinics cannot cure him, he has tried). Being somewhere really warm, he has no pain. We will just collectively deal with a different kind of pain once in a while but it is well worth it. Nobody knows about the future, we try not to worry too much about it. At the mo, we only live in Los for 6 months a year anyway. :)

@Adrian *****

I know. We moved house and the new surgery is so much different than the previous one unfortunately.

@Reiner ********

Yes to both questions. They take rules and regulations very seriously. The head doctor is a bit of a difficult man from the sound of things.

@James *******

We are in the UK

. Changing GP(doctor) is poss not easy here but maybe going private just for this could be the answer.

Thanks both very much. :)

Congrats

How long did the whole process take you plz?

Sorry to hear about your issues and thanks for the info, Carl.

Re ACRO, the embassy website directed you to the ACRO website (this was from 2 months ago, unsure if this has changed). However, ACRO is pretty quick and does not cost much.
