ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi everyone, am planning on applying for AO visa, and started the process. How do I get a letter of endorsement from Thailand board of Investment? Do I need go do something on this website [members only]/

I also noticed medical certificate required saying I'm free of diseases. Is there a template for this and can the local GP sign it?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The AO visa application process does not require a letter of endorsement from the Thailand Board of Investment, according to available information. For the medical certificate, it's important to consult a local GP familiar with the necessary requirements. Some users suggest that while local GPs can issue the certificate based on interviews, they might not perform the specific required tests, such as for elephantiasis or syphilis. It's advised to check with your local Thai embassy for the correct application forms and any medical requirements.

Download the application forms from your country thai embassy or consult the medical form is there. If you have a good relationship with your gp and they know your medical history they will sign it easy I didn't do any tests. OA and OX in Australia at least have nothing to do with BOI

The AO visa doesn’t need Board of Investment endorsement (that I’m aware of from any overseas embassy but please link details if you find that’s your case).

Getting a local GP to sign off on the medical part can be hard as they don’t generally do the specific tests required. Have a chat to a local (to Thailand GP) here.

They’ll do a Skype type interview and confirm you don’t have elephantiasis or Syphilis and issue a certificate 😀
