Medical examination for visa applications

At Eira Hospital, we issue medical examination certificates for work, studies as well as long-term residencies. The instructions below apply to visa applications to the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Before coming to the examination, please find out what type of visa you are applying for in your destination country. The visa type affects the content and cost of the examination.

 

Preparing for the medical examination appointment

Please bring with you all of the following documents:

  1. A valid passport (no photocopy) that was used to apply for a visa to the destination country.
  2. ID of your visa application , e.g.:
    USA: casenumber
    Canada: IME or UMI number
    Australia: HAP id or TRN number
    New Zealand: NZER or NZHR number
  3. Up-to-date vaccination records in paper form for all the vaccinations you have received (not required by Australia and New Zealand, recommended for Canada). If they are not provided, we will consider the vaccinations invalid and they will need to be renewed. Please note that we may not be able to arrange vaccinations during the medical examination appointment, in which case a separate vaccination appointment will need to be scheduled.
