Qatar Visa Medical, London
Complete the full Qatar embassy panel in one £495 appointment at our Harley Street clinic, including biochemical profile, chest X-ray and infection screening.
Qatar Visa Medical, London: the direct answer
A Qatar visa medical is the pre-arrival health examination required for Qatar residence, work and Qatari employment visas. The £495 Medical Express Clinic package includes physical examination, chest X-ray, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and a biochemical profile, with the signed certificate ready in 3 to 5 working days.
Qatar's residence medical is one of the more streamlined Gulf panels, but it includes a biochemical profile that catches out applicants who book a generic visa medical. The embassy expects a chest X-ray and the standard infection screen alongside the biochemistry, with the report typically signed by an FCDO-registered doctor.
Our Harley Street clinic prepares Qatar medicals for energy-sector contractors, finance hires, healthcare professionals and family dependants. Send your sponsor's form ahead of the appointment and we will run the complete panel in one visit.
