I will be travelling from the Uk to Phuket (I hope) in December. I am UK passport holder and have several Q's:

I have 2 x COVID Pfiser vaccinations in Turkey (not UK)- Does Thailand accept these?

Is it possible to obtain a retirement visa if you are the owner of a Uk Ltd Company? and are they issuing these currently ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The traveler, a UK passport holder planning a trip to Phuket in December, inquires about the acceptance of their Pfizer vaccine administered in Turkey by Thailand, the possibility of obtaining a retirement visa as an owner of a UK Ltd Company, and details on the medical certificate needed for travel. Responses confirm that Thailand accepts proof of Pfizer vaccinations regardless of where they were administered. For retirement visas, applicants over 50 can enter Thailand on a tourist visa, then apply for a Non-O retirement visa by meeting financial requirements, including having 800,000 Thai baht in a Thai bank account. A medical certificate is not required before entering Thailand.

...Your PROOF of your Pfizer vaccination will be accepted.

...if you are age 50+ you can apply for Non O retirement inside Thailand and get the one year extension of it too...by meeting financial requirement of your Thai bank account balance of 800,000 Thai baht.

Enter Thailand with a tourist visa and apply for the retirement steps soon after you are in Thailand.

Stop by your Thai immigration office as soon as you arrive and ask for their list of requirements for the Non O and its one year extension.

No medical certificate is needed before you come to Thailand.
