You have to see a good orthopedic doctor in a good hospital. As Steve said. Ask the doctor questions and decide from there. Depending on what’s causing the medical issues, other specialist might have to become involved.

I realize you are trying to get peoples opinions. But they are just guessing also.

Yes a TM 30. You shouldn’t need to do a contract. Unless you just want to make a written agreement with your friend

It is extremely difficult for Thais to get a tourist visa to the United States. They are usually rejected. If they get the tourist visa. They usually have to prove they have a very good well paying job, funds etc. And a good reason they would return to Thailand. I know a 50 year old Thai woman that has a government job in Bangkok. She has been rejected for the tourist visa twice so far.

I’m guessing for the $600 the agent is going to get the tourist visa for her. Personally I don’t think you should waste your money. The agent can’t guarantee she will pass the interview. Most Thais are rejected for the tourist visa.

It cannot be completed on line. Unfortunately they are not that far advanced lol.

I had to do the questionnaire one year before I moved from Thailand after that and it was a mess.

I returned it same day by registered mail Thai Post . When USPS delivered it , it was scanned and signed for.

A few months later I received the form again with a letter saying the first one was never received. I called the social security number where the form was mailed to. Person confirmed first one was never received. So this time I sent it EMS Thai Post. It was then scanned delivered by USPS with a signature.

I called the office where it got delivered a few weeks later. The person insisted neither form was received and my payments could be stopped.

I then contacted the FBU at the US Embassy in Manila. Five days later I received an email. It said they contacted social security and they actually had both forms. The original I sent and the replacement one

How much do you get monthly? Because you won’t be able to live on your 2k in savings.

I lived in Bangkok for three years. I had Medicare at that time. You cannot use Medicare overseas
