Working and living in South Africa
Will you be working or studying in South Africa for an extended period of time? This country has certain requirements for your health. A medical examination is a mandatory part of the permit application process.
We regularly perform this medical examination for students, expats and individuals who are staying in the country for a longer period of time.
You pay an all-in fee with us and it is a one-stop shop. We schedule all examinations on the same day.
The “Medical Certificate” form from the Republic of South Africa Department of home affairs must be completed by an independent physician. The results of the X-ray must be listed on a separate ‘Radiological report‘.
The medical examination includes:
- X-ray;
- Physical examination;
- Height/weight;
- Blood pressure;
- Vision;
- Urinalysis for glucose, protein, infections and blood levels;
- Anamnesis.
What will you bring with you to the examination?
- The form from the consulate;
- Passport;
- Any medication or list from the pharmacy;
- A little urine (this is not necessary sober);
The medical examination takes about 30 minutes. After the examination we will send you (as soon as the results of the thorax photo are in) all documents both by post (the original papers) and a copy by mail.
Usually this is within 3 working days.
