If a medical check is required, what do you need to consider? Here are some important aspects that are assessed during such an examination:

  • Thorax X-ray: (This is not always required, check with the embassy!) This chest X-ray helps detect lung problems, such as TB.
  • Physical examination: A thorough check of your overall health.
  • Height/weight (BMI): This measurement provides insight into your body mass index.
  • Blood pressure: A crucial measurement to determine whether your blood pressure is within a healthy range.
  • Vision: A simple eye test to check your vision.
  • Urinalysis: An analysis of your urine to check health indicators such as glucose, protein and signs of infections.
  • Medical history: Discussion of your medical history and any current health problems.
