I am married to a Thai Lady and have been talking with the Thai Embassy in Sydney. I followed the procedure and got to the point of having the 1st Covid Test for the application and then..... A point to note: If you apply and are in Oz on an Australian working VISA (I have a 482 VISA) It must have a minimum validity on the VISA of 6 months, mine has less and expires in 2.5 months so that stopped everything. No way to go ahead, i tried everything i could think of. I couldn't make the application. If you are a Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident you can apply based on having a Thai spouse following the procedure to the letter. That includes buying a Flight Ticket to include with the application (which i see isn't the case in the UK list or Philipines). Medical Insurance is a no go in Australia, you have to arrange it in Thailand or via another Country. When you ask makes sure you tell them it must be Covid 19 compliant for Thailand (min. $100000 USD) and that its accepted by Thai Immigration. Get them to confirm it in writing so its clear. Minimum Term is 12 months. AXA Thailand and Pacific Cross offer a Covid 19 Policy for sure as i have quotes. AXA gives you a statement confirming its Covid 19 compliant for Thailand, Pacfic Cross gave me a written confirmation it is Covid 19 Compliant and there literature confirms it. You must clarify these points when initially asking. If not you might have a problem getting on the plane and at Thai immigration. Best to get a copy of the Policy and confirmations in English and Thai.
A Covid Test in Australia to get a certificate is easy. if you get a referal from your doctor, pay your money to private a patholgy approved company in 3 working days its done. I cant tell you about the certificate to fly as i didn't get that far.
This is my experience to date. Being patient to see my next opportunity to get this done.
