South Africa Visa Medical Certificate – Explained

A South Africa Visa Medical Certificate is a document required for many long-term South African visa applications, including work, study, and residency visas. The certificate confirms that the applicant does not have any serious infectious diseases or medical conditions that could pose a risk to public health.

The certificate must be completed and signed by a qualified medical doctor and submitted as part of your visa application.

At Wilmer Health, our network of licensed doctors provides professionally prepared visa medical certificates for applicants across the UK, USA and worldwide. We ensure the correct documentation is completed so that you can include it with your South African visa application.

Once your application is approved, we prepare the certificate and send a physical paper copy with a handwritten doctor’s signature to your address – anywhere in the world.

Do I Need a Special Medical Form for a South African Visa?

This form is separate from a general medical letter and must be completed by a doctor and submitted alongside your visa application documents. At Wilmer Health, we take care of this for you and stay up to date with the latest South African visa medical requirements.
