The Immigration Health Exam
The immigration health exam is a crucial part of the visa application process, designed to ensure that applicants meet public health standards. The exam typically starts with a thorough medical history review, where the doctor follows specific protocol. The doctor and/or our staff will give you detailed information about the process and answer all your questions.
Next, a physical examination will be conducted, including basic checks such as measuring your height, weight, and blood pressure and a more detailed examination. The doctor will also run specific laboratory tests, such as blood work, to check for infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and gonorrhea. Depending on your medical history and the country’s requirements, additional tests like X-rays and vaccinations may be necessary.
Finally, the doctor will complete the paperwork required by immigration authorities, certifying your health status based on the examination results. This documentation is essential for you to move forward with your visa application. It's important to follow the physician’s instructions closely and ensure that all required tests and vaccinations are performed or are up to date to avoid delays in your immigration process.
