Actualy, only when you apply for a O-A visa is the polcie and health check required. For a non-immigrant O visa based on retirement it is not.

You were lucky, many offices won't accept them that way and will require you to fill out a new form on the spot.

As I understand it Suan Phlu now uses there own computer generated form (with the digital photo/fingerprints) so the one you give them is extra; so that is probably why they were not concerned.
