All clinical services at Wilmer Health operate under the oversight of our Medical Director, ensuring professional accountability, ethical consistency, and alignment with recognised medical standards.

Clinical decisions are made independently by licensed doctors and are not influenced by commercial or administrative considerations.

Visa Medical Certificates

What is a visa medical certificate?

A visa medical certificate is a medical document required by some embassies or immigration authorities as part of a visa application. It typically confirms that, based on available information, no relevant medical conditions have been identified that would prevent visa issuance under the applicable rules.

Visa medical certificates are administrative documents and are not medical clearances or guarantees of visa approval.

Wilmer Health supports visa medical certification for a range of long-stay and residency visa applications, including:

Yes. Wilmer Health provides physical (hard-copy) visa medical certificates where a physical document is required for visa submission.

For many Spanish visa applications — including the Spanish Non-Lucrative Visa and Spanish Student Visa — embassies or consulates require a signed physical medical certificate as part of the application process. In these cases, Wilmer Health arranges the production and delivery of the physical certificate.

Physical certificates are dispatched using tracked postal or courier services, and Wilmer Health works with established delivery partners such as Royal Mail and DHL to ensure secure and reliable delivery.

Yes. A doctor may decline to issue a certificate if:

Clinical decisions are final and made using independent professional judgement.

Sworn translation services are provided through approved third-party specialists and are coordinated by Wilmer Health as part of the visa documentation process.

Wilmer Health supports applicants by managing the apostille coordination process and arranging secure return delivery once legalisation is complete.

In addition to visa medical certification, Wilmer Health may help coordinate or support the preparation of other commonly required visa-related documents, depending on the visa type and authority.

These may include:

Wilmer Health provides administrative and documentation support only and does not offer immigration or legal advice. Final document requirements are determined by the relevant embassy or immigration authority.
