Medical tests for visa

Post new topic

Guest8653
Hello,

I am waiting for my work visa to arrive, and then will proceed with the medical test. Contacted the Kuwaiti embassy, but they were very vague about which tests they require. So I was just wondering what other people have had to do?

I am an Irish citizen residing in (and applying through) Germany.

Many thanks!

hello

the embassy have no  idea about such tests ... they can't help you .

for that test , you have to go to the website for medical tests for visa , and pay 10 dollars , then they will send you the name of hospital where your medical check will be done ..............  they have many hospitals in every country , and when you register on the site , they will choose randomly a hospital for you .

as far as remember , the check include  vision examination , blood test for  kidney , liver function + hepatitis and HIV antibodies.. + chest x-ray.
after the test , you will get the report and you shall take it to the embassy .
wishing you success :)

I have been waiting 15 weeks now for the work visa so that I can proceed with the medical. Like you, I contacted the embassy to gather information and they were vague, but clinics near me that are familiar with visa medicals told me they cannot quote me a price until the work visa document comes through. I presume the work visa has a form that the doctor has to fill in that states all the required tests. 

I am losing hope that I will get the work visa after waiting 15 weeks so far. I was supposed be working as a teacher at a private college and they expected me to join in February.  I will give up in late July.
