Is there a difference between a medical check/certificate for teachers and non-teachers? The non-teachers one only checks for syphilis. Friend of mine told me that. Just curious, got everything checked already. ;)
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around whether there is a distinction in medical check requirements for teachers versus non-teachers when applying for a work permit in Thailand. While some users speculate that the requirements are the same, with a basic check being sufficient, others highlight variations in health certificates related to different permit types, like those for driving licenses. Notably, a user's experience suggests that a basic health check at a lower cost sufficed, indicating that procedural requirements might not have significantly changed over time.

I had a 180 baht check at Medconsult and that was enough. No blood test etc.

Well they don't in Chiang Mai. So it's good to know they do in Surat Thani.

- the government requires to test for lymphatic filariasis or elephantiasis which is done with a blood test.

As said before. What YOU do, where and how is totally irrelevant.

The question was: what is required by the Thai Government?

I'm not a doctor, I do not specifically ask them what tests they have to do. They do know what's required and do the tests, or at least the certificate accordingly. They ask me what I need it for and make the tests and until now, I had blood taken every time I did it in the hospital.

we're not talking about what you do or not. We're talking about what's required by the Thai government for a new or extansion of a WP. I live close to Bangkok Hospital CNX.... as long as I pay for it they do the works also but it's not required. Big difference.

I need to say like this. When I used to go to the clinic here, I just paid money and got a certificate. No tests what so ever but since I go to the Best Western Hospital here on KPG they do "teh works"

Health certificate (simple doc consultation) yes. But bloodworks too? I've always getting the health certificate for over a decade but the bloodworks was only asked between 2009 and 2013.

Not anymore. I didn't do that for the last 2 times. It's no longer a requirement.
