What's involved

A Barbados visa medical generally involves the following, based on Barbados's current requirements as we understand them today.

  • Examination: Completed Medical Form R1, including an external chest X-ray, submitted in report form

  • Chest X-ray: For TB screening. Referred to our imaging partner; additional charge.

  • The report: Completed on the destination's own form, an embassy template, or a covering report we draft, with all signatures and stamps included.

Good to know

  • Requirements and forms are your responsibility. Visa medical requirements change and embassies do not always announce it, so you must check the current requirements directly with the Barbados embassy or High Commission in London, obtain the correct forms, and satisfy yourself that you have exactly what your application needs. We will help wherever we can, but confirming what Barbados requires is yours to do.

  • Part of this process may need to be completed in the destination country; we complete the UK part.

  • The PDF is a scanned image, so the exact checklist and any requirement that the doctor be Barbados-registered could not be confirmed.
