Medical certificate in Patong
Sooner or later somebody asks you for a doctor’s letter. An employer wants proof you were sick. A dive school will not put you in the water without one. A visa office needs a health check. A medical certificate in Patong is straightforward to get from us, and in most cases you walk out with it the same visit.
We are open 24 hours on Prachanukroh Road, minutes from Patong Beach. No appointment needed. Every certificate is signed and stamped by a licensed Thai doctor and written in English.
Sick leave certificates for work
The most common request. If you were unwell on holiday and your employer needs proof, we examine you, record what we find and issue a letter stating the dates you were unfit for work.
One honest limit: a doctor can only certify what they can actually assess. If you were ill three weeks ago, recovered fully and now want a backdated letter, we cannot write that. Come while you are still unwell, or as soon after as possible.
Diving medical certificates
Phuket is a diving hub and most schools around Patong, Kata and Chalong ask for a medical before a course. The doctor checks your heart and lungs, blood pressure, ears and sinuses, and reviews your medical history.
Asthma, recent chest infections, ear problems, epilepsy, heart conditions and some medicines all need proper consideration. We will tell you honestly if diving is not safe for you right now, because pressure at depth turns small problems into serious ones.
Visa and work permit medical certificates
Thai immigration and labour offices use a standard medical certificate form. It confirms you are free from certain listed conditions. We complete it in the format the offices accept, with the doctor’s licence number and clinic stamp.
Bring your passport. Tell us which office it is for, because requirements differ slightly between visa types and provinces.
Fit to fly letters
If an airline has asked whether you are safe to travel, that is a fit to fly certificate. We assess you and issue it the same day where it is appropriate to do so. Bring your flight details, since the letter needs your name as it appears on the ticket plus the date and flight number.
Certificates for insurance claims
Travel insurers rarely accept a receipt alone. They want a doctor’s report describing the diagnosis, the treatment given and the dates. We produce that alongside itemised receipts so your claim has what it needs first time.
School, sport and gym certificates
We also issue letters for school absence, sports participation, gym membership and Muay Thai training. For anything involving physical exertion the doctor does a basic fitness assessment rather than simply signing a form.
What to bring
- Your passport
- The form itself, if the requesting body has one
- Details of any medicine you take
- Flight or course details where relevant
- Your insurer’s name if the letter is for a claim
How long it takes
Most certificates are done within 30 to 60 minutes, including the consultation. If tests such as bloods or an ECG are needed to support the letter, allow longer, and we will tell you upfront.
Common questions about medical certificates in Patong
How much does a medical certificate cost in Patong?
The fee covers the consultation and the letter. Extra tests are charged separately. Message us with the type you need and we will quote first.
Can you backdate a certificate?
No. The doctor can only certify what was assessed and when. We can note the history you report, but the examination date is the examination date.
Is the certificate accepted outside Thailand?
Ours are written in English with the doctor’s licence number and clinic stamp, which is what employers, airlines and insurers overseas normally ask for.
Can I get one at my hotel?
Yes. A doctor can visit, examine you and issue the certificate there.
Do you do certificates for Muay Thai gyms?
Yes, including basic fitness assessment before signing.
