Visa medicals explained
What is a visa medical?
A visa medical is the health examination an embassy or sponsor asks for before a work, residence or long-stay visa. It records the examination and test results required by the destination or sponsor.
At Medical Express Clinic on Harley Street, a doctor completes the examination and arranges on-site tests. The chest X-ray is at a partner radiology facility about five minutes' walk away, and its cost is included in the package price. If a sponsor or embassy has issued a specific form, it can be emailed after booking so the clinic can confirm the panel and any uplift before the appointment.
Who needs one
Who books a visa medical?
- Workers mobilising to the Gulf, Asia, Africa or the Caribbean on employer-sponsored visas

- Students heading to universities that require a medical, such as China and Malaysia
- Seafarers and offshore crew needing pre-deployment clearance
- Remote workers on schemes such as the Barbados Welcome Stamp

From booking to report
How it works
01
Appointment timing
An early booking in the visa timeline leaves room for any follow-up tests and for the signed report to be ready before the application is lodged.
02
Visa documentation
Visa documentation can be emailed before the visit. Some destinations need tests beyond the standard package, and reviewing the paperwork first helps complete everything in one visit.
03
The examination
The visit takes about one hour, covering the doctor consultation, physical examination, on-site tests and the chest X-ray at a partner radiology facility about five minutes' walk from the clinic.
04
The signed report
The medical report is completed and signed for submission with the visa file. If any result needs discussion, the clinic makes contact directly.
What to bring
The original passport is required
The clinic cannot complete the medical without it. Any medical forms issued by the embassy or visa centre should come with you.
Don’t forget passport-sized photographs. Many countries require them — check your visa documentation for the number and specification and bring them to your appointment.

Before you book
Common questions
When should I book my visa medical?
As early as possible in the application process, so there is time for any follow-up tests and for the signed report to be ready before the visa deadline.
What do I need to bring?
The original passport is required for the examination, together with any medical forms from the embassy or visa processing centre. The clinic cannot complete the medical without the passport. Many countries also require passport-sized photographs: check your visa documentation for the number and specification and bring them with you.
How long does the appointment take?
Approximately one hour, including the chest X-ray at the partner radiology facility nearby.
Where is the chest X-ray done?
At a radiology facility within a five-minute walk of the clinic. The clinic arranges this, and the cost is included in the package price.
How quickly will I receive my results?
The medical report is signed and returned after laboratory and radiology review. Timing depends on the panel and whether expedited processing is requested. Reception can advise on 0207 499 1991 when there is a fixed submission date.
Do you complete the medical certificate?
The clinic completes and signs the medical reports the sponsor or embassy expects, ready for submission with the visa application.
Are your doctors able to sign visa medicals?
Doctors at Medical Express Clinic complete embassy-format visa medicals on Harley Street. Visa documentation sent at booking lets the clinic confirm the panel matches the requirement.
What if my country is not listed?
Reception can advise on requirements and pricing from the embassy documentation.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
Walk-in patients can be seen, though booking is strongly recommended because waiting and processing may take longer.
