Belgian Consulate Accredited Doctor Medical Report
Dr. Hüseyin Çat is one of the doctors in Istanbul who has been issuing Belgian visa medical reports for many years and is highly experienced in the relevant procedures.
The medical report required for a Belgian visa must be obtained from a doctor accredited and officially recognised by the Belgian Consulate or from an authorised healthcare institution. The consular accreditation agreement is not made directly with the hospital, but with the accredited doctors whose names are listed on the official website of the Belgian Consulate.
Dr. Hüseyin Çat is accredited by the Belgian Consulate and has been preparing the medical reports required for Belgian visa applications for 16 years.
For the report to be accepted as valid, it must be prepared in the correct format, and the required documents must be completed according to the circumstances of the person travelling to Belgium. The report must also be signed and stamped by the accredited doctor.
At our medical unit, under the supervision of Dr. Hüseyin Çat, blood tests, a chest X-ray, the doctor’s examination and the preparation of all required documents are carried out in the same building. The entire process is usually completed within approximately one hour, after which the medical report required for the Belgian visa is issued.
Before applying, the current list of accredited doctors and the medical report form must be checked.
The most accurate and up-to-date list is available on the official website of the Belgian Consulate, and applicants should proceed according to this list.
What Is a Belgian Visa Medical Report?
A Belgian visa medical report is an official health document that may be required, particularly for long-term visa applications exceeding 90 days. For student visas, work visas, and residence applications, it is prepared in accordance with the conditions adopted by the World Health Organization in Geneva on 23 May 2005 to confirm that the applicant does not carry an infectious disease that may pose a threat to public health. The doctor issuing these documents must know which documents are required according to the type of visa.
Who May Need It?
The Belgian medical report is generally required for long-term Type D visa applications. The applications for which it is most commonly requested include:
- Belgian student visa
- Belgian work visa
- Long-term residence applications
- Internship applications
- Applications involving a planned stay of more than 90 days
What Is Examined in the Medical Report?
The assessment may vary according to the type of application, the applicant’s age, and the examinations considered necessary by the doctor. In general, a physical examination, blood tests, chest assessment, infectious disease screenings, and additional tests may be requested.
How Does the Process Proceed?
First, an appointment is made with an authorised doctor. After the examination and required tests are completed, the results are evaluated. If considered appropriate, the Belgian visa medical report is prepared in the official format as an original document, usually in English and, when necessary, in French or Dutch, and delivered to the applicant.
