Anonymous participant 909 got it. Okay. Sounds like workcation then since I'm fairly certain it won't require that much followup. Thanks.

Anonymous participant 909 Right, I should've mentioned I already got assessed at Sriphat and Maharaj and I have a set appointment for the surgery. I have doctor notations from the assessments and the referral notes and the surgery appointment document. But I'm wondering if that's all they need or if I literally have to have a singular treatment plan document written up. And I'm not sure if it's easier to go the workcation route or medical. I haven't seen many posts for medical applications or if they were approved.

I've seen several posts from people waiting a bit longer this month at HCMC. They may be a bit backed up from all the May holidays or have other pressing work to get through.

You can do it. Keep in mind that it becomes active and the 5 year countdown starts once approved.

Holidays

Thailand has a holiday just about every week. Have to always be checking thw calendar.

Idk if you can, but if so be careful. That seems awfully risky.

Anonymous participant I'm not familiar with the different areas of BKK. Google Maps can locate the closest ine to you. Just search "immigration office"

They might stick you with a 2k baht fine for being late, but it won't affect your visa. Go to your nearest immigration office and explain. Bring some cash in case you don't get an understanding officer.

If it's a U.S. Passport then it says Authority: United States Department of State

That should be correct. Authority is the same as place of issuance / issuing authority.
