Medical Certificate Required for What Visa/Extension

[morrobay]

What visa or visa extension requires a Medical Certificate ?

[Surelynot]

Depends what day it is and which office you go to. Good idea to have insurance regardless. O-A marriage at Chaiyaphum don't require any.

Only a OA long stay visa applied for at a embassy in your country requires a medical certificate.

It is not required for any extension of stay at a immigration office. But there are few odd offices that want one when applying for an extension of stay based upon retirement.

An O-A Visa and an extension in Samui if I recall correctly.

I needed it in Ratchaburi for my O-A retirement extension.  The certificate makes it easier for them to see if you meet the requirements compared to them having to read through your policy and decipher it.  Keep it simple for them.

 

Pacific Cross emailed a certificate to print out and also said they had uploaded it to immigration.  So you would think they would already have the information.  But they still wanted proof at the office.

The discussion is about getting medical certificate from a clinic, doctor or a hospital.

You are confusing a certificate to prove you have health insurance with it.

Both Yasothon and Amnat Charoen immigration offices require a medical certificate from the local government hospital for extension of stay applications.

What is an "O-A marriage?" You're talking about things that don't exist. 

 

isnt the o/p asking about medical certificates? What does that have to do with insurances?

Your post is totally irrelevant. The insurance is needed if having an O-A Long Stay Visa issued after October 31 2019, and also includes annual extensions.  And there's no O-A based on marriage. A medical certificate are required at some local immigration offices when doing the annual extension, at for example Kanchanaburi immigration.

Poster is confusing a medical certificate < see UJ's post #3 > with the thai IO-approved health-insurance Certificate now required when applying for an extension of stay based on an original Non Imm OA Visa.

And he is correct that such OA extension does not require health-insurance when extending for reason of marriage.

OK, but he wouldn't be extending an O-A, which is a visa, he would be extending his permission to stay based on marriage, presumably  switched from retirement since that would be what one starts out with from an O-A visa entry'.

 

There's already enough confusion in terminology without adding "O-A marriage" into the mix.

Do you mean it's not required for a retirment extension if your original entry into the country is with an O-A visa? If so, I understand why agents don't require insurance for a retirment  extension of an original entry with an O-A.

The thread is about MEDICAL certificate.

Not health insurance. 

Again with agents?

I think I'm getting into your nerves with this agent thingy but I want to become an expert with the modus operandi of agents in Thailand. Agents for various offcial activities like DL, real estate, TM -30, 90-day, immigration extension, opening bank accounts, getting a yellow book, etc. They have made my life so much enjoyable in Thailand and freed me from all those hassles and horror stories  people post in this forum while I sip pina collada on the beach and laugh at those posts.

Does anyone have a sample/template of the medical certificate? And which offices might ask for it? Anyone asked for this at CW?

 

 

 

Just saw this list posted on FB...

No

That appears to a list for Samui. They are one of the few rogue offices that ask for it.
