Just had my medical today at Visa Medical and it was quite smooth. Everyone was super efficient, but really nice.
- 10 minutes check in, they took and scanned all the documents and took a (horrendous) photo with their own digital camera. They didn't need any of the 4 passport photos I brought.
- 20 minutes with a doctor. Checked general medical history, then vision, heart, hearing, breathing, weight, height, blood pressure etc. Took one vial of blood - test for STDs.
- 5 minutes with radiologist for chest X-Ray - test for TBC.
- 5 minutes with a nurse for vaccinations. I didn't have to get any additional vaccines. I don't have any certificate from childhood, but I've had MMR (NHS GP), Td/IPV (NHS GP), Covid (private), flu (private) vaccines in the past few months, had Hep A/B (3 course) vaccine 10 years ago and they were fine with that. Also had a varicella (chickenpox) antibody test done recently.
- 5 minutes check out
Total time, with all the waiting in between: 88 minutes.
