JasonM Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 How hard / easy is it to fail the medical for your visa ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkft Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I suppose that's going to depend on your general health really. The process is actually very straight forward - blood tests, chest x-ray and a check of your medical history. Unless they find anything untoward you should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Just thought I would ask as I have been in hospital for a few days undergoing tests and started to think it maybe over. Will see my test results and hopefully still cooking on gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelchic Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Depends on what your tests are for I suppose and if you need ongoing treatment. Debs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Even if your test results are not great it does not automatically bar you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 You don't pass or fail the medical on the day, it's a way of raising issues - e.g. a friends BP was high several times and she could not get a normal reading - she was asked to have further tests which she did, they were sent off and she got a visa. A few years ago a lady who had been treated for depression by her GP was asked to get a psychiatric report - she paid for a one off appointment and everything was ok and she got her visa. I constantly show blood in my urine (when tested) it's been investigated - no known cause, nothing to worry about - knowing this I provided information on the day which could be sent off with my medical, indicating what investigations had been done and that it wasn't something that caused a problem or was likely to in the future (I got a letter from my urologist). My son had undergone some renal scans - his paediatrician gave us a letter stating similar. We did not get asked to provide any further information. If you have had or have a medical condition that has required treatment, it is best to take as much information as possible to submit with the Dr's report. We were asked to provide the following information (which saved them requesting more. Get your specialist or GP to do a letter. It should state: What the problem is/was What investigations What treatment - and if it is on going The prognosis for your condition e.g. is it likely to effect your ability to work Hope this helps Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
