[Vatman]

Does Nan Immigration Office still require a medical certificate for the yearly extension of my Non O visa on grounds of retirement?

Going by reports by members. Yes they do. They must be the only one

Hopefully someone will pop in and verify.

Would appreciate some feed back if you are extending at Nan - I need to go thru the same proceedure in a few weeks myself.

Thanks

TV member weeGB posted some good stuff about his visit to Nan some months ago now.

I went from here in South Petchabun on 18th May. A 450km drive, it was around 3pm when I arrived in Nan so decided to drive straight to the Immigration office.

In and out in 35 mins with a retirement extension and single re-entry permit.

Yes the nice female immigration officer did ask for medical certificate.

I read about this on TV and collected one from our local polyclinic for 20 Baht.

Also they required two copies of all pages in passport!! & signed copies in her presence.

Letter from Bank a must and photocopies of pages in Bank book and book updated too.

Reminded me that money must be in Bank 3 months before next years application.

Also took me through 90 Day reporting and gave me office address in English & Thai for postal reporting.

As a long trip for me, stayed overnight in Nan and RTU next day.

Apart from a long drive, the last 90 km's through the hills! less hassle than Suan Plu and no waiting.

The Imm Officer informed that since the new regs for extensions/re-entry's they are processing on average 20 foreigners a month, well I suppose that's 20 less going to Suan Plu, is that making a big difference I wonder.

I will report back after my trip to Nan. I will also see if I can get any info on the supposed new Phetchabun office.

Thanks for your replies.

Completed my 1 year (retirement) extension of Non O visa & obtained re-entry permit at Nan so can now answer my own question. Yes, a medical certificate is indeed a requirement at Nan. The office was busy when I arrived. There was a queueing system- take one of the plastic numbers on the front desk. Waited 30 minutes before I was asked into the office. Young lady completed everything in 20 minutes. So if all your paperwork is in order there is no problem. Friendly & efficient. When I asked about the possibility of a new office in either Phetchabun or Phitsanulok I only received a shrug of the shoulders. So no news there. If staying overnight in Nan there are a number of bar/restaurants along the riverbank. Recommended.

Thanks for your report and confirming that Nan still requires the medical check.
