the key is to get the checklist for this visa at your local Thai Immigration office. Some request the medical certificate while others do not. Good luck!

Robert Lagas the Siricha Immigration office does require a medical certificate. The cert is whatever the doc or local Thai clinic uses. No tests. Just questions by Dr. And signs OK.

You do not need a medical certificate if you apply for a Non Immigrant O visa based on being over 50 years or for an Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years of age at the Immigration Office.
