What are the requirements for obtaining a Non-O-A visa in Canada, and how can I handle the medical certificate process?
Hi all, thanks for all the wonderful advice here. I am trying to complete the requirements for non O-A 1 year visa. Multiple entry. I have downloaded the template Thai medical certificate with certain tests such as leprosy and elephantiasis. These tests are not common here in North America. The hospital says 30-40 days for results? I’m in Canada so the results are sent to CCDC. Any suggestions? Can’t go to US.
Any suggestions would appreciate?

The form is a joke to doctors. Just find any doctor, I bet they sign it for you.

In Australia, we used our usual general practitioner and they did not do any of those tests. They just filled in the form that we did not present to them with any of those diseases.

it's difficult but not impossible on a 90 day O visa.Michelle ****************
OP@Pete ******
the bank will not consider a 90 days visa it must be at least 1 year. This is the purpose of my visitBrandon ************
Most doctors will just look at it, laugh and sign it. You might be able to find a doctor that will let you do a video call and sign it for you. There is one in Thailand that will do it that way, but some embassies will not accept it from a doctor in Thailand.

Suggest you look at the requirements for a Non-O, it may be more appropriate for you.
