In detail
The Vietnam visa medical — what to expect
A Vietnam visa medical is most often needed for a work permit, which requires a health certificate confirming fitness for work. This is arranged through your employer as part of the work-permit dossier; whether a UK-issued certificate is accepted, or one from an approved Vietnamese hospital is required, can depend on the employer and the province.

FAQs
Vietnam visa medical questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
What does the Vietnam visa medical include?
It follows the health certificate required for your Vietnamese work permit — usually a fitness examination and the tests the form names. Send us your form and we'll confirm the exact list.
Can you complete my official Vietnam immigration medical?
Some Vietnamese provinces require the health certificate from an approved hospital, occasionally in Vietnam. Please send us your employer's form before booking so we can confirm whether we can complete it for your route.
How much is it?
From £345. The final price is confirmed from your form, as some forms include extra tests.
How fast can I be seen?
We usually offer same-week appointments for a Vietnam visa medical. The completed form follows once your required test results are back.
Who needs a Vietnam visa medical?
Typically people applying for a Vietnamese work permit. Requirements are set by your employer and the provincial labour authority and vary by visa category, so the form or official instructions you have been given are the definitive guide — and we're happy to check yours before you book.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Your passport and any Vietnam visa documents, the medical form or written requirements you've been given, passport photos if requested, and a list of your medications and relevant history. Bringing the form is the single most helpful thing, as it tells us exactly what your Vietnam route requires.
Do you submit the results to the embassy or authority?
In most cases you or your employer and the provincial labour authority submit the completed form. We carry out the assessment and complete your Vietnam form to the requirements provided; we are not a visa or immigration advisory service and do not lodge the application for you unless your specific process arranges that.
What if I have a medical condition or take regular medication?
That’s usually not a barrier — bring a list of your medications and any relevant history so the doctor can complete your form accurately. If a condition is relevant to your form, we’ll explain how it is handled.
