- A doctor every time
- Today, every day.
What does the appointment involve?
A Kuwait medical generally involves the following, based on Kuwait's requirements as we understand them today.
Examination: A physical examination and a signed statement that you are in good health and free of infectious disease.
Bloods: HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis. Malaria and filaria where your form lists them. A pregnancy test for women where asked.
Chest X-ray: For TB screening. Arranged with our imaging partner; included in the price.
The report: Completed on your employer's or the embassy's own form, with all signatures and stamps.
Is there anything else I should know?
Requirements and forms are your responsibility. Requirements change and are not always announced, so check the current requirements with your employer, sponsor or the Kuwait authorities, get the correct forms, and satisfy yourself you have exactly what your application needs. We will help wherever we can.
Kuwait repeats a medical after you arrive, for the residence permit. That one is done in Kuwait and is separate from this.
Your police certificate needs FCDO legalisation and attestation at the Kuwaiti Embassy in London. Ask your employer whether they want the medical attested too; we do not assume it.
