Common questions

Do I need a chest X-ray?

If this is your first work permit medical or a renewal but you haven’t had a chest x-ray in the last 3 years. If your permit or renewal requires one, choose the CI$115 package.

What should I bring to the appointment?

You just need to bring your passport or driver’s licence for verification of identity.

How long in the work permit medical?

Without x-ray, the typical permit process is undertaken in around 30 minutes, depending on results and any fundings.

What happens if the medical identifies a problem?

Comparatively little influences the outcome of your work permit but some issues require attention as health complaints. You may take the findings to your GP or arrange to discuss with your work permit medical GO, Dr Paulo Beco.
