Visa Medicals

If you are planning to work, live or study abroad, a medical assessment may be required as part of the visa application process for a number of destinations. Each country has a specific set of health checks you need to undergo to prove your medical fitness and obtain the relevant visa medical certificate. You should be sent details of this as part of your visa application. 

If you are applying for a visa and feel unsure about what needs to be done, look no further than Midland Health. Our experienced GP can tell you exactly what your visa medicals should include for the specific country you are going to and provide an expert assessment to make sure everything is in order before you travel.

Your Visa Medicals - What to Expect 

At Midland Health Birmingham, we offer a comprehensive private service to obtain visa medical certificates for a wide range of destinations. The process involves the following:

Most of these can be performed in our private clinic in Birmingham without the need for referrals, so the process is as quick and simple as it can be.
