Is a medical certificate required by Phitsanulok Immigration Office for renewal of 1 year extension to Non O visa on basis of retirement?

it seems that way.

NO, unless it has changed in the last 2 months. I did my 1 year extension in March and there was no requirement.

1). Copies of Passport Pages

2). Photo

3). Completed form 7

4). Proof of funds

5). Even-though I am on a Non O for Retirement, the Officer in Charge wanted my wife's name and phone number. But, I think that is just because they want to be sure how to get in touch with us. I must say this was new and it seemed to be an after thought, three of the officers that day had just returned from arresting a foreigner and I waited nearly three hours to do my extension, but it was a very pleasant experience. Except for the wait.

Last month I did my extension and they did not ask for a medical certificate nor a bank statement with the latest exchange rates as someone reported before (Embassy proof of income)

Thanks for both your reports. Seems that they have dropped this "requirement" finally too.

The answer is:

It costs 5-10 minutes time and 20-30 Bath to get one.

Nowbody knows what hapens tomorrow.

He can always get one in P'lok if he still needs one.

Thank you for your replies.

I apply next month.

Will post definitive `yes` or `no` on return.

Completed my one year extension of Non `O` visa on grounds of retirement at Phitsanulok this week.

You do not need the medical certificate.

I had all my documents in order & walked out with the extension exactly 11 minutes after entering.

I did my retirement extension plus a single re-entry permit at Phits yesterday and also can confirm no medical certificate required.

My wife could not make the trip, so I went on my own, everything was going well for the retirement extension until at the end the Immigration officer wanted a copy of wifes ID, tabien baan and marriage certificate. Well I was under the impression that you did not have to married to apply for a retirement extension and thought about reminding him of this , but decided to keep stum, and just informed him I did not have them with me.

They wanted some proof of I lived in Petchabun and in the end I showed them a "residence certificate" I got last year at Nan Immigration (for Thai driving licence).

Anyway that seemed to do the trick.

I was the only foreigner that morning and was finished up in about 40 mins, so pretty good.

PS : For re-enty permit I forgot to make copies of passport pages!, so was asked to make a small contribution for using their photo copier!

Its been a couple of years since I have done that but I thought it was only application form, Passport and fee required.

Just this minute back from Phitsanulok immigration, no medical certificate required.

Quite a pleasant experience after years of Bangkok a the day trip to Nan and back last year.

Was met at the door by a work experience student from NU university who wanted to help in getting all the paper work straight. The actual visa issue and a re-entry took about 30 minutes as there was a bit of social chit-chat and language practice with the officer looking after it all. All documents were carefully vetted with a couple of clarifying questions just all part of the social interchange.

TM7

Bank letter showing balance over past 3 months

Copy of bank book

Copy of passport

Copy of yellow address book.

For re-entry

They copied the front page of passport and new visa extension (Bht20)

All in all, smooth as silk as they say in Thailand.
