Guest tinkerbell Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Does everyone have to have a chest xray and/or medical? With the way hospitals are here how long do people tend to have to wait for an appointment and is itdone at a specialist visa type hospital or just your local general?

tomabbie Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 For PR everyone has to have chest X-ray and medical I think ( sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), for the 457 visa you don't unless you are in a specific occupation like me ( I'm a midwife). Yes you do have to go to an approved immigration doctor and there is a list of them on the DIAC website, I went to me in Manchester and they were lovely. I rang up on a Thursday and got an appointment for the following Monday, so didn't have to wait long. Everything was done there including xray and blood tests and they uploaded to my visa really quickly. Kirstie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
