If you’re applying for a visa and need a medical examination to meet immigration requirements, Northway Clinic can help.
Our experienced GPs carry out thorough visa assessments in line with the latest international guidelines. With flexible appointments and minimal waiting times, you’ll be able to complete your medical quickly and efficiently, giving you one less thing to worry about during your application.
What is a visa medical?
A visa medical is a health assessment required as part of your visa or immigration application.
Certain countries require visa medicals to determine if you meet their health requirements before granting you a visa. Applicants are asked to complete a medical exam to confirm they’re in good health, pose no public health risk, and assess your physical and mental fitness for travel or intended work or study.
You may need a visa medical if:
- You’re applying for a long-term visa (such as work, study or residency)
- You’re travelling from a country with a high incidence of infectious disease
- Your occupation involves healthcare, childcare or elderly care
Visa medicals help immigration authorities make informed decisions about your application, and at Northway Clinic, we’re here to make the process as smooth as possible.
