A Medical Certificate of Good Health for visa applications is required by many countries for work visas, student visas, residency permits, and long-term relocation.
Our UK doctor-issued visa medical certificates are accepted in most countries worldwide, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean.

Our experienced medical team ensures your assessment is:
