lavezzi 40 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I've obtained the COE. I searched for a medical certificate (that certify that I dont have covid) facsimile but I can find only Fit to Fly certificate. Anyone can point me to it? Does the doctor that makes it needs to be a virologist or any doctor (radiologist for example) could make it? thanks Link to post Share on other sites
ubonjoe 48,758 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 You only need a certificate for the results of the covid 19 test. It does not have to be a doctor signing. Most labs doing the test know what is needed. Link to post Share on other sites

PeeJayEm 40 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) This response relates to UK. There is a lot of confusion and ignorance in UK over this among the providers of Covid tests. If you don't read the fine print and properly interpret for yourself, you could be stuck at the Thai border unable to get in. I'll explain...... Many (all that I can see) of the UK clinics offer what they call "Covid Fit-To-Fly" certificates - and if you dig down with them on exactly what that means it is simply a certificate attesting to a negative Covid test result. - They should just call it a "Covid Test" certificate because that is all it is. So that covers the negative Covid test requirement - BUT THAT IS NOT a "Fit-To-Fly health certificate" as additionally required by the Thai authorities (also to be issued not more that 72 hours before departure). A "Fit-To-Fly health certificate" additionally requires a GP to interview and assess (by phone is okay) your general medical condition including any existing ailments and medicines to be able to declare that you are fit to travel on a plane. - Only after that will the GP be able to issue the "Fit-To-Fly health certificate". Presumably in asking for this additional certificate, the Thai authorities will take some assurance that you're also not going to get sick with something other than Covid during your quarantine - which could also result in you becoming a problem case. SO...... in addition to your Covid test, you also ned to make a separate appointment for GP to interview you and issue the Fit-To-Fly health certificate. The providers of the "Fit-To-Fly health certificate" are not as prominent on the web as all the clinics cashing in on the Covid testing. I have booked with www.gogodoc.com - sreasonable price (£80), easy to book and guaranteed same day issue of the certificate. (And no - I have no interest in gogodoc - go for whichever clinic you prefer - I just want me and you all to get to Thailand in proper predictable manner) Edited January 10 by PeeJayEm No interest declaration 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Thai authorities need TWO items: 1) a COVID test negative result certificate 2) a fit to fly HEALTH certificate. These are not the same thing.

CanadaSam 693 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The FIT TO FLY certificate is available at: https://bit.ly/34X6sAJ And it is important, to enter Thailand (separate from Covid Test report). Link to post Share on other sites
CanadaSam 693 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Sorry the above post is for the T8 Declaration that you have to produce to enter Thailand. The FIT TO FLY certificate I am attaching now to this post. Jumping through the hoops! Link to post Share on other sites

See my post of a few moments ago on the UK ignorance of this. I'm not giving "WRONG" informations, I'm just asking. On my country embassy website they ask for "Medical Certificate with laboratory results that certify that you dont have COVID19". This requirement does'nt sound to me like a "Covid negative Test". Covid tests are made by biologists/lab technicians not doctors that's why I've doubts. Am I over worried? a covid negative lab test is enough? Link to post Share on other sites
lavezzi 40 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Embassy just confirmed that the covid test is enough and does'nt need anything else. Obviously it need to be in english. Link to post Share on other sites
PeeJayEm 40 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Then that is different from the requirements if coming from UK. You should state what country you’re talking about so that people don’t draw some general conclusions from what you say are the requirements. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

PeeJayEm 40 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Just now, PeeJayEm said: Thank you. This is Exactly my point - the Fit-to-Fly certificate is about health other than covid and has nothing to do with a covid test Link to post Share on other sites

In addition to and separate from the Covid negative test, A fit to fly certificate is required which is completed by a Doctor Who has enquired about all other aspects of your health. maybe in your country the requirements are different but then you should not post this as a general requirement and you should state which country you are referring to. otherwise people from, for example the UK, Will arrive in Thailand with in adequate documentation Link to post Share on other sites
