Visa & Immigration
The
Bangkok Heart Hospital's wide range of support services include visa and
immigration processing and assistance, providing convenience and benefits to
more than 100 nationalities.
Foreigner patients no longer need to meet the officers of the Immigration
Bureau for visa extensions. Bangkok Hospital Medical Centre and the Immigration
Bureau launched the debut of the country’s first online
immigration service, allowing its foreign clients to apply for visa
extensions via a teleconference systems.
The Immigration Bureau earlier opened an Immigration counter at Bangkok
International Hospital to provide visa extension services and has now developed
an e-immigration service to accommodate foreign
patients.
After the initial stage, the online immigration service will be restricted to
foreign patients of the hospital, but its plans to provide the same for the
patients ‘relatives in the near future.
The visa types that can be processed are tourist visa, visa on arrival,
transit visa, phor 30, and entry without visa.
Clients present themselves in front of the VDO conference camera to allow the
immigration officer to verify their identity with their passports. All necessary
documents are delivered in advance to the bureau for signing and stamping.
