Visa medicals explained
What is a visa medical?
When you accept an overseas job offer, apply for long-term residency, or relocate with your family, many embassies and sponsors require an official medical fitness certificate before issuing your visa. Even a single missing blood marker, unrecorded ECG or unsigned radiology report can stall your application at the embassy desk.
At Medical Express Clinic on Harley Street, our doctors complete your physical examination, arrange all required blood, urine and diagnostic tests on site, and coordinate your chest X-ray at our partner radiology facility about five minutes' walk away (included in your package price). If your embassy or employer has issued a specific medical form, email it to us after booking so we can verify every test on the panel in advance.
Who needs one
Who books a visa medical?
- Professionals, engineers and contractors mobilising to the Gulf, Asia, Africa or the Caribbean on sponsored work permits
- Spouses and family dependants joining a relative on a residence permit
- University students heading to destinations that require a pre-arrival physical, such as China and Malaysia
- Seafarers, cruise crew and offshore personnel needing pre-deployment clearance
- Remote workers and long-stay applicants on schemes such as the Barbados Welcome Stamp
If your destination is not among the thirteen packages above, call reception on 0207 499 1991 with your embassy paperwork and we will confirm the exact tests and price before you book.
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
We must verify your identity against your physical passport on the day, so the medical cannot proceed without it. Bring any medical forms issued by the embassy, sponsor or visa processing centre as well.
Don’t forget passport-sized photographs. Many countries require them to be attached and stamped on the form, so check your visa instructions for the exact number and specification and bring them to your appointment.

Before you book
Common questions
When should I book my visa medical?
Book as early as possible in your application timeline so there is comfortable room for laboratory reporting, any extra sponsor-requested tests, and returning your signed medical certificate ahead of your visa deadline.
What do I need to bring?
Your original passport is mandatory for every examination, along with any medical forms issued by the embassy, sponsor or visa processing centre (we cannot complete the medical without your original passport). Many destinations also require passport-sized photographs, so check your visa instructions for the exact number and specification and bring them on the day.
How long does the appointment take?
Allow approximately one hour in total, which covers your doctor consultation, physical examination, on-site blood and urine tests at 117a Harley Street, and your chest X-ray at our partner radiology facility nearby.
Where is the chest X-ray done?
At our partner radiology facility within a five-minute walk of 117a Harley Street. Our reception team books the slot for you on the day, and the X-ray fee is included in every visa medical package price.
How quickly will I receive my results?
Your medical certificate is completed and signed once all laboratory and radiology results have been reviewed by your doctor. Turnaround depends on the country panel and whether expedited processing (+£100 where permitted) is requested; call 0207 499 1991 if you are working to a fixed submission date.
Do you complete the medical certificate?
Yes, our doctors complete, stamp and sign the official medical reports expected by your sponsor or embassy so your paperwork is ready to lodge with your visa application.
Are your doctors able to sign visa medicals?
Doctors at Medical Express Clinic complete and sign embassy-format visa medicals at 117a Harley Street. Emailing your visa documentation when you book allows our team to check that the test panel matches your sponsor's exact specification.
What if my country is not listed?
Call our reception team on 0207 499 1991 and email the embassy or sponsor medical form; we can confirm the required tests and quote a fixed price before you book.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
We can accommodate walk-in patients where clinic capacity allows, though booking in advance is strongly recommended to avoid waiting and to coordinate your chest X-ray slot smoothly.

“I had a seafarers medical exam at Medical Express Clinic, the service was perfect, quick and professional, exactly what I needed. Furthermore 18 months after the exam Medical Express Clinic went above and beyond to help during a small crisis when the papers had been lost. I am extremely grateful to them for their support and service. Highly recommend!”
