Visa Medical Certificate Apostille , also known as Medical Report of Good Health Apostille, is required for visa applications and verifies the authenticity of a medical certificate issued in South Africa. The Visa Medical Certificate states that no further vaccinations or medical procedures are required before you leave South Africa and is in compliance with the International Health Regulations (2005).
Medical Certificates can be used as evidence of your health or well-being and are required when seeking employment or applying for a visa from South Africa to Spain, Taiwan or worldwide.
