Visa medicals.

Step by step

1 — Preparation

Bring your passport or another form of photo ID with you. Stay well hydrated; avoid coffee in the hours before your appointment. There is no need to fast unless your destination specifically requires it (we will tell you when you book).

For most countries you will need to bring the destination’s visa-medical form with you so the doctor can complete it. For Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Cyprus, Spain, and Greece, the report is provided directly by us — no external paperwork required.

2 — At your appointment

Your appointment with one of our FCDO-registered doctors will last approximately fifteen minutes. The doctor will conduct a brief but thorough physical examination, take any required blood samples on site, and provide instructions for any urine or stool samples if needed.

If a chest x-ray is required for your destination, you will then be referred to a nearby radiology centre that we partner with. The x-ray and any other on-site tests are completed the same day as your consultation.

3 — Your report

Your typed report will be ready within the working timeframe specified for your destination — typically one to five working days. You can:

• Collect the report in person from the practice
• Have it sent by Royal Mail (£15 for Special Delivery; standard postage is also available)
• Receive a secure email scan if a hard copy is not required

If you have time-sensitive submission deadlines, mention this when you book and we will prioritise turnaround where possible.

If your destination is not listed, please call us. We may still be able to provide the medical, or refer you to an appropriate clinic.
