Last week, the hospital checked my visa. Twice. Not my passport, my visa stamp.

(I think I have heard of this before,  but I was still gobsmacked).

So now the banks , BTS, DLT, hospitals... when will 7/11 check my visa validity every time I buy a coke? 

7/11 "will not be requiring this anytime soon they confirmed"  "except for difficult customers of course"

[Bday Prang]

maybe they have done a tm30 report ,now you will have to go to immigration to explain your movements and show you papers.    Always pays to remain calm and polite in hospital

But the cashier will first need to take a photo of you...

[PoorSucker]

I have the magic social security card, free healthcare.

But wear a facemask when you go to the hospital or they ignore you.

And what do you achieve.... Is that some sort of win. 

 

So you're not prepared to take your pp along with you when having treatment/consultation at a hospital. 

 

Personally find threads like this ridiculous. 

If you are eg going to bank or hospital etc take pp with you and hand it over. 

Next someone will type "no probable cause" 

 

No, I don't consider it a win. I'm not like the OP, I don't care if they look at my passport photo, visa, whatever, I have nothing to hide. I just don't often carry it around with me which is how I found out that various private hospitals, in my personal experience, are ok if you say you don't have it which seemed to be a possible simple solution to the OP's issue of them looking at his visa.

 

Are regular forum users not allowed to give advice that might help the OP's irrational irritance of having his visa checked rather than just non-productively ridicule his post? Because I'm really not sure why you are making a whole issue about what I said.

"You always say", hmmm, sounds daft to me, and even dafter for you if they tell you to go home and get it, eh......🙄

 

Hasn't happened yet but I'm willing to take the chance, I don't live far from several private hospitals. Actually, the last time I can recall when they asked for it and I said I don't have it and started to walk away, they called me back and said no problem. Seems like they are happy with just my money.

Read the OP again.

He had his passport with him to attend hospital and made song and dance about staff checked stamps.

There are reasons for that. 

Mountain out of mole hill.

Then you state this. 

"willing to take the chance" ....

Referring to opting to not take pp with you to attend hospital.

That to me is strange. 

How do you get on re personal banking or pp ok for banks? 

Check into hotels in recent times? 

They should ask for your pp and do a TM30.

It's the law.

No, I didn't

The reason is that I would not be not happy in the kind of police state LA advocates.

First sentence....

"Last week, the hospital checked my visa. Twice." 

 

So you saying you went to hospital without pp and then when showed (twice) they checked stamps.

In any event what's the problem.

You even mentioned TDL. In reference to what? 

For renewal of course they check pp to find out "status" in Thailand.

Ah. Explains a lot.

In Thailand provide pp for such things as attending hospital, banks, check into hotel etc etc. 

BTW: Provide TDL if stopped by police while driving. 

A pp would also be handy.

Because the OP mentioned "visa stamp" Twice in first sentence. 

At a guess he may have a "Non Re" Stamp in his pp. 

My friend was on visa exempt entry. 

In any event I don't understand the OP,s concern. 

 

If your visa is not valid, your insurance is not valid if you admitted information about your insurance.

yeah, not sure if you read it, but the Scot that had a motorcyle accident; then had a big truck cut off both his legs, had a hospital refuse to take him so the emergency folks carried him to a military/government hospital.  The hospital reportedly refused to accept him saying something about health insurance.

Do you have insurance. I don't.

Insurance was not mentioned by the OP.

His  concern seemed to be hospital checked stamp in pp. 

The stamps also show status in Thailand. 

The OP stamp is a Non Re. 

Folk on visa exempt (my friends situation) are basically "tourist status"

Where was your Visa Stamp.......in your Passport by any chance?

Did it affect your daily life by any chance?

And if you do not have legal status in Thailand, your insurance is not valid. He asked why they check his visa, and it can be one of the reasons. 

 

Yes I have tourist visa since Im traveling frequently back and forth.

No, better than that, I have processed 50+ British passport renewals.

 

There are no whims, the documentary requirements are simple and specific.

 

 Here’s a clue……I have never been asked for additional documents by HMPO.

Just asking, I may have missed something..........what is the relevance of the visa exempt stamp?

You entered without a valid visa and are just granted permission of stay for 60 days.

Read visa exempt stamp as 'entry stamp'.

Last week, the hospital staff asked me to check my visa.

 

Is this better ?

Is the English language so pedantic, or is it you?

You stated in OP... 

"Last week, the hospital checked my visa"

And now you state... 

"Last week, the hospital staff asked me to check my visa" 

 

Make up your mind.

How would Hospital be aware of that? 

What does insurance have to do with hospital checking your pp from your OP

For heavens sake

I was asking, isn't it the same?

"The police checked my DL"

"A policeman in uniform asked me to show  him my DL"

 

You make this whole thing more important than it is

No it's not important. You are the chap making it seem significant hospital etc checking status in Thailand.

Invasion of privacy? Surely not. 

 

Suggest next time you visit a hospital for evaluation Produce your Passport. 

Same MO when you visit bank branch. 

Same as when you check into hotel. 

Same when you go to renew TDL. 

etc etc.

You make this up.

I never said anything like that.

(I was brought unconscious, that's why I didn't have my pp with me - not that it matters)

Of course it matters. 

Mind you first time in 4 pages you mention "brought in unconscious "

 

But no matter as you stated earlier.... 

"They were satisfied with a picture of my visa stamp in my phone. 

And the next day they asked again. Buggered off when I told them your staff checked this yesterday"

 

Charming.

What would an MT visa be? First time I hear about it.
