Medical Certificate for Thai Work Permit
Medical certificate is one of the documents required for Thai Work Permit application.
I went to Vejthani Hospital (again) at Ladprao Road 111, at Bangkapi. I had my previous medical check-up done here, for my previous work permit application. Since they already have my record, passport is no longer required.
This time, I was informed by the Visa and Work Permit agency engaged by my new employer, to get 5 tests + 1 test (blood) for work permit, which includes:
- Leprosy
- Tuberculosis
- Elephantiasis
- Drug addiction
- Alcholism
Tertiary Syphilis Third Stage was omitted for this round, compared to the first medical check up I did for my first work permit application.
Took me around three hours … And two hours were spent waiting for blood test’s resuts. They took my blood for test, measure my blood pressure (I passed despite not having enough sleep, still jetlag from my Europe trip), and a little chat with the doctor … any drug and alchohol problem ..
All this for THB 852:
- Laboratory investigation (THB 252)
- NSG charge (THB 150)
- Service OPD charge (THB 150)
- First outpatient care (THB 300)
Read that this medical check-up can also be done at clinics. 20 minutes max, and costs around THB 100. That’s where I’ll be going, if ever I need to go through this again.
Hi i know this is not your expertise but since youve been living and working in bangkok i came across your blog. I would like to ask if you know any what visas can someone apply to stay legally in thailand if they signed a contract for a football team/club in thailand ? They are from Malaysia. Thank you
Hi Sophia,
Indeed it is not my area of expertise.
I looked it up – I think it’s Non-Immigrant B Visa – read more here in these 3 links:
https://www.thaiembassy.sg/visa-matters-/-consular/visa-requirements/non-immigrant-visa-b – check 3.1.4.2
http://thaiembassynigeria.com/eng/pdf/Visa-regualation-2014.pdf – 2014 Nigeria info, but can be used as reference “Applicants who wish to enter Thailand for football player trial or as a football full time
players should make a request to the Sport Authority of Thailand through their respective sport
agents or representatives authorized by their national football associations. The Sport Authority
of Thailand will then forward a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand for
consideration. After receiving approval from the Ministry of Thailand, the Embassy may issue an
entry visa to the applicants on condition that they meet all requirement specified above. They
may be asked to provide additional evidence of their status as footballer players, i.e. a letter
issued by their football clubs in Nigeria.”
