Bahrain Visa Medical, London
Full Bahrain residency panel including stool microscopy, chest X-ray and infection screening, completed in one £510 appointment at Harley Street.
Bahrain Visa Medical, London: the direct answer
A Bahrain visa medical is the pre-arrival examination required by the Kingdom of Bahrain for residence and work visas. The £510 Medical Express Clinic package covers physical examination, chest X-ray, stool microscopy and parasites, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, urinalysis, and a pregnancy test for women.
Bahrain's medical panel includes stool microscopy and parasite screening alongside the more familiar chest X-ray and infection panel, which adds a small logistical step on the day. The embassy expects a complete signed report from an overseas-recognised doctor before issuing the residence visa.
Our Harley Street clinic prepares Bahrain visa medicals for energy-sector workers, finance professionals and family dependants. We collect the stool sample at the appointment along with the standard urine and blood work, so everything runs through the same lab in a single batch.

Includes consultation, examination, listed laboratory tests, chest X-ray and the signed medical certificate.
The Bahrain embassy panel at Medical Express Clinic covers:

What to bring
- Original passport.
- Bahrain embassy medical form if issued by your visa house.
- Recent vaccination card.
- Avoid eating heavily before the appointment so we can collect a clean urine and stool sample.

Signed medical reports are typically ready within 3 to 5 working days. Expedited turnaround is available for an additional £100 where the destination allows it, with most expedited reports issued within 48 hours of attendance.
Bahrain medical reports are generally accepted for 3 months from signing, though sponsors occasionally request a refreshed report if the original is more than 30 days old at submission.

Common pitfalls to avoid
Stool microscopy and parasite screening are routinely missed by GP medicals. Confirm the report references both bacterial culture and microscopy before submission.

The chest X-ray is performed at a partner radiology facility a five-minute walk from the clinic. The cost is included in the package price and our team books the slot for you on the day.
Q.I have an existing health condition. Will it cause issues?
Existing diagnoses, recent surgery and regular medication do not automatically affect your visa medical. Tell us when you book and we will guide you on documentation so the embassy accepts the report first time.
