JPFIT Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Can anyone help me? I am planning on moving to Thailand in 2 years already have a house with a gym and treatment room and want to start my own Sports rehab clinic/business. Does anyone know of the licence requirnents for physiotherapists or Sports therapists. I have all the relevant qualifications and have been working in this field for the past 20 years. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritsSikkink Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 You need to setup a business of which you can own 49%, 51% Thai owned. To get a work permit, you need to have employ 4 Thai people unless you are married to a Thai, then you need 2. Can't help you with the license.

Unless you will work for Thai wages it's probably a waste of your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannon99 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Licensure is tricky. Foreign doctors, nurses, midwives, etc have to pass appropriate licensure tests IN THAI, no translation. And that's just the beginnings of jumping through hoops. Acupuncturists (Thai or foreign) can only be licensed if their education was in Thailand. Physiotherapy I'd imagine would have very similar hurdles. Sometimes you can find a licensed Thai provider that is willing for you to work under their license. I gave up 10 years ago as licensure hurdles were impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPFIT Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks for this will put down exercise specialist as there are always ways around things. The new rules state once you have a company visa you do not need to list all the things you do so this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
