Does anyone know if there is a special Thai form “Fit to travel” required to get Certificate of Entry?

Is a Yellow Book proof for Certificate of Residence?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around whether a specific 'Fit to Travel' form is needed to obtain a Certificate of Entry (COE) in Thailand, and whether a Yellow Book can serve as proof for a Certificate of Residence. It is clarified that a Yellow Book is not sufficient for returning to Thailand, as one must have Permanent Residence. Additionally, there are about 11 categories eligible for entry into Thailand, and one must qualify under these before applying for a COE.

There's about 11 categories now that can apply to enter Thailand. Before you can apply for a COE you have to be in one of those categories.

No a yellow book is not adequate for returning to Thailand. You need Permanent Residence.
