mlkik Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Does anyone know of anywhere to get the medical form signed of in the UK ? I know some people get it done in Thailand but I am in the UK so if anyone can help I would be grateful. My local doctors surgery will not.

DrJack54 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Just visit few clinics. Download form. It's a nonsense. Most will stamp it zero issues Added note. If your plan is to obtain non O-A in order to enter Thailand, I would wait a month to see how successful that turns out to be. My guess zero.

I have had little success in searching so have posted here. Thai Embassy in London have suggested if I want to return to Thailand to apply for this visa.

Every proper clinic can also do this. One urine sample plus the TB- test is what's needed. The other 3 diseases in the list are just visual checks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Thai visa medical costs just £90. Please note, any further tests such as ECG or blood tests would be at additional cost. If a chest x-ray is required, we will refer you to one of our partner clinics with prices starting from £75.

Because it’s cheap and easy to get the certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said "a chest x-ray will be required to rule out tuberculosis and blood/urine test to rule out syphilis." So I never used them. Not sure if the requirement for the tests was because of my age (old) though. Edited October 8, 2020 by MRToMRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Canada a couple of years ago and went to a local private doctors clinic to get that form signed off. I asked the Doc to please sign it and I would be on my merry way. He refused. He told me that the leprosy test would take two weeks to get the results and that the elephantiasis test results would take the same length of time. I gave up.

No proper doctor would run tests for leprosy, elephantiasis and syphilis stage 3. No one in any western country have any of those diseases these days. Any doctor with half a brain knows that and would only concentrate on the urine sample to check if you are a drug addict and the TB-test. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family doctor said "I do not have the tools" so I can not sign. Medical health organisations in The Netherlands will do it if one pay for all necessary investigations. I did already a appeal, in this forum before, Dutch people about this and no answers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I wonder how long the medical certificate for the OA visa is valid for. Currently there is a backlog of people in the UK for the COE, so you could be waiting for months (see post number 2). Bottleneck is how many places in ASQ.

The medical certificate is valid for 3 months and the Embassy will process the visa within 2 weeks. Where do you get the information regarding a backlog for COE? The Thai Embassy are not even organising repatriation flights now as 12 airlines are allowed to fly London to Bangkok. I have had replies from 18 hotels that have rooms available for ASQ so no bottleneck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The COE in London is now an online painless process in 2 stages. They quote 6 days in total for processing but I had mine in 2 days. Plenty of ASQ hotels available now, I cant remember the exact number but its aporoaching 100 soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just print out the certificate and go to one of those clinics on Pattaya Tai. Normally 100 to 150 baht for a medical, but they will sign the OA one for a small tip on top. Just get them to leave the date empty and you can then fill it in yourself whenever you want when you apply in your home country.

Having said that, he looked at the form with some bafflement and seemed to be on the fence about signing it for a moment - I'm not confident other GPs in the surgery would have agreed to sign it.

I have an appointment next Monday at my local surgery and the cost is 40 quid for the examination and form filled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
