Why need visa medical

Why Do You Need a Visa Medical?

Many visa applications require a medical assessment to show that applicants are in good health and do not pose a public health risk. Each country sets its own list of health checks—such as blood tests, chest X-rays, or vaccination records—and failing to meet these requirements can delay or even prevent visa approval.

Our visa medical services are designed to take the stress out of this process. We ensure all examinations are carried out promptly, and we provide the necessary certification to support your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a visa medical?

A visa medical is a health assessment required by certain countries before granting a visa. It typically involves a physical examination, blood tests, chest X-rays, and a review of your medical history. The exact requirements depend on the destination country and visa type.

Which countries require visa medicals?

Visa medical requirements vary by country. Nations such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA, China, South Africa, and Gulf countries (e.g., UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) often require medical visa services as part of their immigration or work visa process.

What is included in a visa medical examination?

A visa medical examination may include:

  • A consultation with a doctor
  • Review of medical history
  • Physical examination
  • Blood tests (e.g., HIV, hepatitis, syphilis)
  • Urine tests
  • Chest X-ray
  • Vaccination checks (if required)

The tests vary depending on the country and type of visa you are applying for.

Can I get a same-day appointment for a visa medical?

Yes. We offer same-day and next-day appointments for visa medicals in the UK at our Birmingham, London, Leicester, Sutton Coldfield, Bournemouth, Oxford and Newcastle clinics, helping you meet urgent visa deadlines.

What should I bring to my visa medical appointment?

Please bring:

  • Your passport (for identification)
  • Visa application documents or embassy referral letter
  • Previous medical records (if requested)
  • Any vaccination history
  • Glasses/contact lenses (if you wear them)
What happens if an issue is found during my visa medical?

If your visa medical examination identifies a health issue, our doctors will discuss the findings with you and provide guidance. Some conditions may not affect your visa, while others may require further information before approval.

Can I book a visa medical examination near where I live?

This means you can book a visa medical examination close to home, with same-day and next-day appointments available to fit around your schedule.

Why do I need a visa medical for my application?
Many countries require a visa medical to ensure applicants are in good health and do not pose a risk to public health. It helps immigration authorities assess whether you meet their health standards before approving your visa.
How long does a visa medical take?
Most visa medical appointments take between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the number of tests required. If an X-ray or additional scans are needed, the appointment may take slightly longer.
How quickly will I receive my visa medical results?
At Private Medical Clinic, we aim to provide a fast turnaround on all visa medical services. In most cases, results and certificates are available within 24–72 hours. Some embassies may request additional checks, which could extend the processing time.
Can children also have visa medicals?
Yes, children applying for visas may also be required to undergo visa medical examinations, though the specific checks are often less extensive than for adults. Requirements vary by country.
Do I need to fast before my visa medical?
For most visa medical services, fasting is not required. However, if blood tests such as glucose or cholesterol levels are needed, you may be asked to fast. Our clinic will advise you when booking your appointment.
Can I complete all tests in one visit?
Yes. Our clinics provide full medical visa services with on-site X-ray and blood test facilities, meaning most applicants can complete their assessment in a single visit.
