Does one need to do a big health check when renewing work contract / visa


Recommended Posts

Work want to renew my contract for another year. They are preparing contracts etc. Do I need to go to the local hospital and do blood tests / chest xray? 

 

If so is this for the labor dept or immigration? Sounds like a waste of my time and money...

 

thanks

Never needed a test

It is on on the WP5 work permit renewal form and the WP1 work permit application forms.

From the renewal form. https://www.doe.go.th/prd/assets/upload/files/alien_en/62e56eb1b3254bb33ca3bfe6935dc489.pdf

6. Medical certificate showing that the applicant is not insane or mentally sick, suffer from Leprosy, Tuberculosis, Drug Addiction, Alcoholism, Elephantitus and Tertiary Syphilis

They started asking for the blood test for syphilis a few year ago.

Here we go again. Visa & work permit are issued from completely different offices.

A health check & blood test are required for work permit.

Just because you think it is a "waste of time" is of of no importance to them 

That"s the way it is done here, get used to it

In the BOI 1 stop shop you can arrange both.

We got our WP via BOI too and we needed the medical certificate. I go to a local clinic and it's only 100B.
