Visa Medical – Certificate of Good Health

Before going abroad to live, work, or study, some countries might need you to get a health check for their visa. These checks are also called a Medical Certificate of Good Health.

A medical certificate for visa purposes confirms that you meet the health requirements set by your destination country. With ZoomDoc, obtaining this certificate is fast, simple, and entirely online. After completing a short health questionnaire, a UK-based, GMC-registered GP will review your information and issue a signed medical certificate tailored specifically for your visa application. In most cases, you’ll receive your official document the same day—without the need for a clinic appointment or in-person consultation.

All ZoomDoc medical letters include a unique QR code that ensures instant verification and added peace of mind. When scanned, the QR code links directly to your secure online results portal, where the medical letter can be reviewed in full and your personal details confirmed. This provides a fast and reliable way for employers, schools, or travel authorities to validate the authenticity of your document in real time.

ZoomDoc offers full refunds only in cases where we are unable to provide a medical letter. Once a medical letter has been issued by one of our GMC-registered doctors, we are unable to process a refund, as the service has been fulfilled. We aim to be transparent and fair with our policy to ensure all patients understand the terms before proceeding with their request.

Our medical team reviews all submitted evidence promptly and aims to issue your letter on the same day the evidence is uploaded. This service operates between 9am and 9pm GMT, seven days a week, ensuring fast turnaround times and support when you need it most.

Your medical certificate will be signed by one of our FCDO-registered doctors at ZoomDoc Health. As a fully UK-regulated healthcare provider, all our doctors are licensed and registered with the UK General Medical Council (GMC), ensuring that every certificate we issue meets the highest standards of clinical and legal validity.

All ZoomDoc doctors are fully registered with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Because of this accreditation, their signatures are automatically recognised during the apostille legalisation process, ensuring your medical certificate can be legalised quickly and accepted by foreign authorities without complications.

Yes, you can obtain a medical certificate for a Spanish visa through ZoomDoc. Since the UK’s departure from the EU, Spain now requires a medical certificate of good health as part of its visa application process. This certificate must comply with the specifications outlined in the International Health Regulations (IHR) of 2005. ZoomDoc provides medical certificates that meet these exact standards, issued by FCDO-registered UK doctors. As a result, our certificates are fully compliant and accepted for Spanish visa applications.

Greece requires a specific medical form to be completed, signed, and stamped by a doctor as part of its visa application process. At ZoomDoc, we offer a dedicated Greek Visa Medical Certificate to streamline this requirement.

Please choose the correct certificate from the main menu.

Our Medical Certificate of Good Health, issued in accordance with the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), is valid for 90 days (three months) from the date of issue. This validity period is set by international health guidelines and is recognised by visa authorities and embassies worldwide.

Please note that some countries may require additional medical forms to be completed and signed as part of their visa application process. We recommend checking with the embassy or consulate of your destination country to confirm the specific health documentation required.

At ZoomDoc, our doctors can sign these additional forms after your Medical Certificate of Good Health has been validated. A surcharge of £25 applies for each supplementary form that needs to be completed and signed.
