Guest Froggy Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi Thailand Lovers! I'm trying to find some informations to know if we need a Medical Certificate to apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa OA with Multiple Entries. I know that for the Visa type O they require for, but for OA with Multiple Entries, is it the same thing? Is there somebody who knows if we can get a valid Medical Certificate in Thailand and if they have to contact with the country of the foreigner? Also. can we change a Tourist Visa with Double Entries for a Non-Immigrant Visa OA with Multiple Entries directly in Bangkok after we get Married? Thanks for All the Informations Members!

singa-traz Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 For the Visa, requirements here: - http://www.thaivisa.com/304.0.html No medical certificate .. but you might need one to get married. For the Tourist to Non-immigrant OA visa in Bangkok ... I will let it to the specialist.

lopburi3 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Am not sure what you want but a class O visa (single or multi entry) based on marriage does not require a medical certificate that I am aware of. The medical certificate is often required for long stay (retirement visas). After you marry you need to obtain a non immigrant class O visa. The normal procedure is a quick trip to Penang or other consulate. But you can ask to change your tourist visa in Bangkok and might be able to do so; especially if you are planning on extending your visa on a yearly basis with money in the bank. A non immigrant multi entry class O visa is one thing. No proof of income or money in bank required. But you need to exit/enter every 90 days or less during the year it is valid. The visa extension is obtained with proof of income/bank funds and requires you also obtain a re-entry permit for any travel. The re-entry permit may be single or multi entry so perhaps that is what you are thinking about? You should not need a medical certificate for what you are planning AFAIK but they are available from hospitals and clinics here if needed.

djinn Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I applied last month for a OA visa coming from tourist visa. 2 steps:1 from tourist visa to O type visa you need medical certificate 2 from O visa to OA visa immigration advised me I will need again a medical certificate (I will do this procedure in march) No hassle,go to see a doctor they have a standard document in thai for this purpose.I even had no check.They fill the form you pay and it is done.

Guest ka1234 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 1 from tourist visa to O type visa you need medical certificate I have a (marriage based) type O visa and I never had to produce a medical certificate to get it. Does it depend on what grounds you get it on...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_Pat_Pong Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 There's no medical required for marriage in Thailand Froggy ( perhaps there should be one ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ka1234 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 There's no medical required for marriage in Thailand Froggy ( perhaps there should be one ) Nah, by that time it is usually a bit late to worry about contagious agents etc...

dr_Pat_Pong Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Froggy...an O/A does require a medical and a police clearance. It is much easier to get a plain O and extend it in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A head doctor's certificate of sanity should be mandatory before any marriage, anywhere, anytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Is there somebody who can tell me if I seriously need a medical certificate to get married in Thailand with a Thai citizen? What you need is a paper from your Embassy and your Embassy can require whatever they feel like so you must check what they require as not all countries require the same information/proof.

Ned Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 On the subject of medical certificates for visas just remember that certificates from doctors working at CLINICS are NOT accepted anymore. You have to get one from a hospital. I found this out the hard way in Chiang Mai two days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Was the med certificate for an application for residency? I'd appreciate your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djinn Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Ned,I made my medical certificete in a clinic in Pattaya and received my O visa at immigration in soi Suanplu in BKK.They accepted it without any problem. Ka1234,I needed a medical certificate to receive O visa because it was the first step to transform a tourist visa in OA visa without leaving the kingdom (I think??? ).

Ned Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Doc Patpong, The medical certificate was required for a Retirement Visa. I turned up at Immigration in Chiang Mai with one from a doctor at a clinic but was sent away to the nearest hospital to get one from them instead. There they took my blood pressure and a doctor listened to my heart before handing over the certificate. I was told that hospital certificates have been required since August.

Ned Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 djinn, Just shows you that it depends on the immigration office and/or the officer. Perhaps another officer might have been content with the medical certificate from the clinic and not sent me a few kilometres and a couple of songthaew rides down the road.

An O/A has much more rigid rules, as does someone changing from TR visa's NED CM always makes it harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djinn Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Agree with you Ned;in Pattaya they refused to change my tourist visa to O visa.They said I had to leave the kingdom and no hassle in BKK .TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
