The Stewarts Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi If you are applying from the UK you do not need to have a medical done. Emma Might want to double check this as I had to get a medical for my student visa, as did my hubby & two girls who came on the visa as dependents, that was at the end of 2008 for starting in Feb 2009. The medical was pretty straight forward, quick examination, x-rays and bloods and of course the piddle in a bottle test, nothing to worry about.

emmaroo Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I went on a student visa last year and was informed by DIAC that is applying from UK no medical was required. I did not have a medical and was granted my student visa no problem. Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to pay for meds & x-rays for the 4 of us (2 adults & 2 children). Oh I was doing Diploma of Community Welfare at Geelong, Victoria. I also applied from UK. Its a bit annoying to think that I was told we all needed these and had to send them with application to DIAC. Has anyone else experianced this?? Its not as though they were cheap, plus we had to travel from Aberdeen to a Drs in Glasgow as no one in Aberdeen could do an electronic transfer of the medical notes/x-rays. We needed to get them sent asap. Maybe an age thing, me being a mature student!!!!! lol Lorna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
