STV - Medical Certificate

[at15]

Anyone in western countries been able to do this? I am having trouble finding anyone who even knows what this stuff is besides TB.

I'm thinking the only option might be a referral to an infectious disease specialist.

If anyone has successfully obtained an STV, please let me know. this is insanity.

 

The  certificate says.....

to be free of the following diseases:

1. Leprosy

2. Tuberculosis

3. Elephantiasis

4. Drug addiction

5. Third Step of Syphilis

If you can make it into a doctor's office on your own, you can eliminate most of the list. Any hospital should be able to provide you with a signed piece of paper for this.

It is the same list Thailand uses to get a work permit.

I went to a general doctor and they gave me a TB skin test and the rest they said were obviously not a factor and filled out the certificate for me.

 

I'm also wondering about the medical cert. On the thaiconsulatela website they state it must be notarized. Has anyone actually done that?

 

"4. Medical certificate (must be notarized) showing no prohibitive diseases as indicated in the Ministerial Regulation No.14(B.E. 2535) certificate shall be valid for not more than three months"

This is the exact same form for the Non Imm OA visa.  There are two ways to meet the Notarization requirement:

 

This is what one can do in the US:

 

1. Hire a Notary to come to the Doctors office and complete the Notarization when he or she signs the form.  This can be expensive.

2. Have a notary complete a Jurat Affidavit of the medical certificate.  

 

I have used option 2 in order to obtain my last 2 Non Imm OA Visas from a Thai Consulate.

It would help if you told us which country you are in as the embassies may handle the requirements differently. In Denmark, a family doctor can fill out the document. I didn't need to get it notarized.

I cannot see where the requirements for the medical certificate to apply for a STV needs to be notarized on the Los Angeles consulate website.

"7.2   Medical Certificate
             Medical certificate showing no prohibitive diseases as indicated in the Ministerial Regulation
             No.14 (B.E. 2535), certificate shall be valid for not more than three months
             (Leprosy, Tuberculosis, drug addiction, Elephantiasis, third phase of Syphilis) "

My doctor looked at it and laughed

Then signed it...

No charge.

Kind of similar when I got my OA a few years ago. The doctor laughed when he read the list, and said, "you obviously don't have any of these diseases - almost no one has any of these diseases nowadays." And then he signed.

My doctor looked at the form and said he would have to consult a reference to see how to test for a few of them.  I said really?  Isn't this obvious?  He made me take a TB skin test and syphilis test but said the others were just a visual examination.   

 

No requirement to get it notarized in the US.

 

Oh I forgot he did give me a drug screen.  I think his practice has been hurting from the Covid situation.   He needed the income from the lab fees.

 

I should be sad but it is sort of funny (peculiar) how an epidemic has made so many of the doctor’s offices empty.

Some are making more money with Covid19 RT-PCR tests with fit-to-fly letter charging $200-$400 while lab tests cost free to $60 in the city like Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I've tried with my two doctors in my local hospital and both of them didn't want to fill up the form for me stating "i can't sign this, how do I know you don't have this" and another doctor said "you clearly don't have any of this but i can't prove it so i won't sign it for you" . Also called multiple private clinics and noone wants to do anything with my medical certificate. I'm completely lost and stressed, been trying for 15 days already.

 

Worse thing is when asking for them to test me so i can prove i don't have those diseases they say i just can't test for those (For info, doing it in Barcelona, Spain)

 

Any idea?
