Common visa routes
What happens at your appointment
On the day
The full appointment takes approximately one hour, including the on-site doctor consultation, blood draws, urinalysis and the chest X-ray at the partner radiology facility a short walk from the clinic.
PNG reports are signed on Medical Express Clinic letterhead with the FCDO doctor stamp. Where your sponsor or project office uses a PNG-format medical form, we complete it on the day so both reports are sent forward together.
What to bring
- Original passport.
- Sponsor or PNG visa medical form if your project office has issued one.
- Vaccination records, particularly for yellow fever and hepatitis B.
Report turnaround and validity
Standard signed report
+£100 where permitted
Full panel in one visit
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.
PNG medical reports are generally accepted by sponsors and immigration for 6 months from signing, although resource-sector projects often request a fresh report within 3 months of mobilisation.
Common pitfalls to avoid
Resource-sector PNG postings often add drug screening and audiometry to the standard panel. Tell us your project so we can run the right tests in the same appointment.
Yellow fever certificates are not part of the visa medical but are typically required at the border. Bring your International Certificate of Vaccination if you have one.
