Immigration Solicitors Explain the Importance of a Medical Exam as Part of the Application Process

The Immigration Procedures for the UK clearly outline the Medical Grounds upon which an application may be refused. According to Rule 36 an Immigration Officer is required to refer you to a Medical Inspector for a thorough examination based on which you MAY be denied entry in the UK. According to Immigration Solicitors people who intend to remain in the UK for 6 months are required to undergo this medical examination for clearance. Since this process takes place at the port, the Immigration Officer can refuse entry if you do not clear the medical examination.

What about the Medical Examination?

The Purpose of the Medical Examination is to prevent the entry of the people who if admitted in the UK may:-

-                      Risk the health of other people in the UK.

-                      Not be able to support themselves due to their medical condition.

-                      Require a major medical treatment, for which the application request was not made.

Make sure you clarify these issues with the Immigration Solicitors in your country before making an application.

In case of a refusal, your right to make an appeal depends on your reasons for coming to the UK. For example, if you intend to come to the UK with a visitor visa, you might not be allowed to make an appeal. Whereas, if you intend to come to the UK with a visa that will allow you to stay for longer than six months then you may be able to make an appeal after a refusal.
