A few years ago I was in TH as a tourist but qualified for a Non-O, and had to go to Kuala Lumpur to get it. One of the requirements was that health cert, so I got one from here, while I was in TH, took it to KL, and the Thai embassy there accepted it. Maybe that was a stunt, but I figured I'd try and it worked.

the 2nd health cert in Thailand.

While outside Thailand, to comply for a Non-O, I went to a gov clinic and explained this was a CYA type doc to satisfy an immigration bureaucracy outside the country and that they would never be responsible because the TH gov does not double check the health status of the applicant. Got it for free, signed and stamped. A few years later, needed one of those again to renew my Thai driver's lic. Went to a generic clinic where the counter lady took my blood pressure (sign of life?), and gave me the above cert, signed and stamped. Cost was 200 THB, <$6 US. Good luck!

my EMS tracking shows unsuccesful deliveries but it finally was received on at the US Emb gate. My final post shows the subsequent progress. Your PP will arrive any day now.

@Vit ********

you got it!

@Vit ********

they wanted every page that had a stamp in the old PP. Didn't think they were needed so had to do it at the usual copy service outside their offices. Had to sign them all, as usual.

@Richard ********

sorry if all this sounds like a slow moving train wreck... so much for disjoint bureaucracy. Good luck!

Just got my new passport today. It took 5 weeks. Also see the update and conclusion I posted on this group a few minutes ago. Good luck and safe travels!

@Vit ********

some gov website said "10 to 13 weeks". So we seem to be doing well. I will post a final update after I get the passport and the visa transferred, etc. We are still not out of the woods.

No, the the message says they mailed the passport back to me on the 12th. That's today status. Two days ago, even after they said thay mailed, it it still said "not available" then.
