Answer summary
The Thai Consulate in Savannakhet now requires applicants to present a medical certificate obtained in Thailand for their visa applications. This new requirement has caused inconvenience for many, as all individuals who queued for their visas were turned away without the necessary documentation. The specific details about what the medical certificate should include are still unclear, with discussions ongoing regarding whether it should be a COVID-19 specific certificate or a general health certificate.

I asked them(thai embassy at Savannakhet) on their facebook page today and they said the health certificate has to write on letter with confirm that you are “fit-to-travel”. It can be in Thai or English. Should be within 48 hours.
