Applying for a KITAS or long-stay visa? Here is what the required health examination covers and how to prepare so it is done in a single visit.
A medical check-up is part of most long-stay Indonesian visa and KITAS applications. It is a straightforward examination, and with a little preparation it can usually be completed in one appointment with your certificate issued shortly after.
What it typically includes
- A general physical examination by a doctor
- Blood tests and a urine sample
- A chest X-ray to screen for tuberculosis
- The official medical certificate your agent or immigration requires
How to prepare
Bring your passport and any visa paperwork, and ask your agent exactly which tests your category requires — requirements vary. Some blood tests are easier if you have not eaten beforehand, so check whether you need to fast. Wearing light clothing without metal makes the X-ray quicker.
