Hi to all,

Thanks to QL this site is very helpful, Thank for the people who share their knowledge in any inquiry here...

Currently I am here in Dubai waiting for cancellation of my Visa, I got job offer in Doha and can't wait to move there. For my Qatar visa application the Qatar employer advise me to inquire at Qatar Embassy here for what is the accredited Hospital for my medical test. Last Thursday visit the embassy and I inquire and they advise me that my Employer must me tell what is the Hospital? I think he don't understand me and I ask again but he keep telling me the same answer, they told me what only I will do is to bring the test result and they will stamp for attestation. I don't want to ask anymore it might they will get mad cause I always ask the same question so what's in my mind now I can go in any Hospital and bring them the result then I try in near private hospital and they inform me they are not doing test for Visa and the same thing they advise i must ask the embassy...in this time I ask my nurse friend, he advise to take medical test in public hospital not in private and that's what I plan for now..

My QUESTION is...

1. What is the Medical Test Required for Visa Application? Employment Visa or Visit Visa application...(I have no Idea what visa they will apply)

2. For those who have same case like me before.. Where hospital I go for medical test?

Thanks in advance for all advice...God bless you...

Hi JFD, I already finish my medical test yesterday and I will get the result this 15th of Feb. First I go to Dubai Hospital to Inquire but they refer me to Buhairah Hospital next to their Building cause they are not doing any medical test them from Buhairah Hospital they require passport copy, emirates card and visa copy then after I pay to the cashier they ask me what is this for I only told them for Qatar Visa them I guess the same thing they will told me same in hospital I inquire before but this time they know what to do I pay 280 Dhs. Then I proceed to laboratory for test required. only Blood test for HIV and Xray for TB they give. Now I will come back this Wednesday to get the result and right after I will proceed to Qatar Immigration @ Khalid Bin Al Walid for Authentication Stamp. I hope it helps.

Hi. I am having exactly the same problem. I am in the UK and am supposed to be flying out to Doha on 23rd. My empployer has only just let me know that there is now a requirement for a home-medical but didnt seem to know any more facts at all. I called the Qatar Embassy in London and got a similar response to you. I also work for a very large professional services organisation so have been helpd by global immigration lawyers based in London, who have contacted their normal contacts and contacts at the clinics in London who usually process medicals for expats to UAE, etc - nobody knows who are the accredited medical test centres or what tests need to be carried out and legalised. Very frustrating. I have already been issued a work visa so I think the legalised test certificate is for immigration purposes at the airport. Anyway, if anyone has any additional information I would also be very very grateful. If not, I will report back shortly as have the contact details of an immigration lawyer in Doha.

Hi Cristian. Ivan, what I mean is Medical test for Employment Visit Visa application? I think they require medical test result before they issue Visa? My employer advise me as per Qatar Immigration rules effective Feb.1 all expats require to show the original Medical Test Attested by Qatar embassy at the Airport...I have no Idea if the Medical test is for Airport requirements or Visa application requirements? At the present I will undergo medical test for any of them I am prepared....Thanks for the Advice...

usually the medical test is conducted here at Medical Comission, especially for work visa. It consist in lungs xray, blood test and eye check.

perhaps you will done it here.
