FAQs about our Papua New Guinea Visa Medical

Which types of PNG visas require this medical?

A medical certificate is mandatory for all Working Resident Visas and applications for Permanent Residency. It is also typically required for students and long-term business visitors. Short-term tourist visas (under 60 days) generally do not require a medical examination.

When should I book my medical?

You should aim to book your medical 4–6 weeks before your visa submission. PNG work permit processes can be lengthy, and having your medical report ready—usually valid for 3–6 months—is essential to avoid delays in the onboarding process.

How long does the appointment take and when do I get results?

The clinic appointment takes approximately 30–45 minutes. As the PNG medical requires specialized blood work (including HIV) and a chest X-ray report, your final certified documents are typically ready within 3–5 working days.

Is an HIV test mandatory for all PNG visa types?

Yes, for work and residency permits, an HIV pathology report is mandatory for all applicants over the age of 16. We provide the certified lab results alongside your medical report.

Do I need a chest X-ray for PNG?

Yes, a chest X-ray is required to screen for Tuberculosis. The radiologist must sign a specific radiology form, which our doctors then verify as part of your final submission.

Is a urine test required for PNG?

Yes, a standard urinalysis is part of the medical examination to check for general health indicators like glucose and protein levels.

What happens if I work in the food industry in PNG?

If your role involves food handling, PNG authorities often require a stool test for parasites and specific vaccinations like Typhoid to ensure you meet their occupational health standards.

Do I need to be screened for Malaria for PNG?

While PNG is a high-risk area, the medical focuses on ensuring you are healthy before arrival. Our doctors can provide advice on Malaria prophylaxis during your assessment.
