How can I obtain a medical certificate for my visa application if my UK doctor no longer provides this service?

if you look to get a non OA over 50 retirement visa you can have money in any account it does not need to be in a thai account but does need to have an equivalent of 800k baht total or 65k baht monthly this is typically for 1 to 3 months (statements). If you apply for a non O over 50 retirement visa then to get the yearly extension you need 800k baht in a thai bank account for the 1st extension and can change this to the 65k baht monthly on your 2nd extension ( you can then take the 800k baht out of your account and just rely on the 65k baht monthly payments into your thai bank account). You can of course if married to a thai get a marriage visa where you only need 400k baht in your account or a lower monthly payment into your account. So each is a different visa for staying long term in thailand. At present you can get a 60 day visa exempt entry (rumours suggest it may go back to 30 days) and then get a 30 day extension when in thailand at a local immigration office giving you 90 days. You can also get a 60 day tourist visa through the evisa online system at your embassy and again can extend it 30 days when in thailand giving 90 days in total, these are both single entry. You can also apply for a 6 month multi entry tourist visa through the e visa system which is you get your last entry into thailand correction get substantially longer. So it depends what you want to do in thailand. You can start with a 60 day visa exempt and 30 day extension then switch to a non o visa inside thailand, only difficulty is opening a thai bank account as the banks only like long term visas I.e. like the non o or non oa. You could get an agent help you open an account only, you deposit your money 800k baht and away you go.
