Hello po. Tanong lang po ako about sa health declaration. Natapos na po ako magpamedical nung Feb pa, submitted na sya. Pero last week, nakitaan ako ng cyst at mag uundergo ako ng minor surgery. Currently nakalodge po yung visa ko. Kailangan ko po ba iinform yung agent/CO about dito? May checklist po akong sinagutan pero parang wala naman nagfofall under minor surgery dito? Considered change in medical circumstances po ba ito?

Hi po, yung sa question na -- "Are you taking any prescribed pills or medication?" kasama din po ba dito yung mga katulad kunwari ng pang lower ng bad cholesterol saka pag control ng uric acid?

Yes. Anything that is prescribed by your doctor. Indicate mo din po ung name nung medication and ilang beses mo tinatake.

Hindi naman po siguro magiging reason ito na madelay ang pag clear ng medical noh? And also po, napansin ko po sa signature nyo na Dec 8 din kayo nainvite, same po tayo pero maglolodge palang po ako. May I know po kung saan kayo nagpa schedule ng Medical and ano po ibig sabihin nung "waiting for referral letter"? Yung sa clinic po ba yan or yung s56 ng CO?

Hello everyone. Anu po recommend nyo clinic for medical? I have the option between St. Lukes Ermita, Manila and IOM Salcedo Village, Makati. TYIA po.

Can't speak about IOM, but we took ours in St. Luke's Ermita. I think advantage is having the online setting of appointment. Wala naman naging issue with the experience other than the crowded streets of Manila. Process took half a day to complete for a family of 5.

Ano pong time ang pinili nyo for Medical? Ano po kayang schedule ang mas konti ang tao? Family of 4 po kami.

We scheduled ours after lunch. 1PM kami naka-set pero na-accommodate naman kami even before the schedule.

Any idea po ba guys paano makapagpa medical na agad nang hindi pa nakakapag submit ng application? SG po pala location ko. Nakakuha ako ng ITA for visa 190, pero hindi pa complete docs ko. Habang naghihintay makumpleto docs, gusto ko sana magpamedical na. Any way po ba paano?

kailangan ung HAP ID eh, which is only given after submission and payment ng visa application.

I see. May nababasa ako kailangan pa maghintay na sabihan ng officer na kumuha ng medical? Or as long as may HAP ID, pwede na straight sa clinic? Lahat talaga ng applicants ng visa 190 ay kailangan magpamedical? Thanks sa info ah.

You have two options kapag may HAP ID ka na: wait na i-request ng case offer ang medicals mo, or gawin mo na in advance. Others (usually as advised by agents) go for the first option dahil ang medicals ay valid only for 12 months. So if mag-expire, gagawin mo ulit (bayad ulit). May iba namang ginagawa na agad, even at the risk of redoing medicals kung mag-expire man, to avoid CO contact and to be efficient where possible so as not to further delay processing.

As long as you have your HAP ID, pwede ka na magschedule for medicals. They use the HAP ID kasi as their identifier/reference ng application mo.

And yes, medicals are mandatory for 190. It's to ensure that you meet the country's health requirements and a way for the government to safeguard public health na rin.

Many thanks for all the info! May mga nabasa ako na ibang clinics tumatanggap ng TRN lang? Hindi pa kasi dumarating feedback ng police dept dito sa SG eh. Iniisip kong TRN muna ibigay sa clinic para makapag medical na sana. May nakagawa na ba nun? Thanks sa mga mag aadvice
Also note, at least for PH applicants, may notice yung St. Luke's na "Before coming for your medical examination, you must lodge your visa application" so it might be more prudent to lodge visa first then pa-medical ka na

I would think yes, kasi that is prescribed medication.

Opo, basta declare lang natin. Plan ko magpa medical sa St Lukes Ermita clinic po. Hinintay ko pa po kc ung HAP ID para makapagbook ng appointment for medical. Good luck po sa atin, batch mate

Hindi po ba pwede ng magenerate yung HAP ID once naglodge na ng visa? Kaya po yung iba nakakapagpamedical na kahit wala pang request for CO? Balak po kasi namin magpamedical na din agad at hindi na hintayin macontact ng CO. God bless po sa atin at sana this financial year din dumating ang grants natin

Pwede na po mag generate ng HAP ID at magpa medical, yung iba po naghihintay ng CO contact kasi po 1 yr lang validity ng medical. Cguro po dahil sa pandemic dati, pero as of the moment mas mabilis na po ang grant so as much as possible is mag pa medical na po lalo pag complex po ang cases..

Hi I underwent major operations (appendectomy and gall bladder) last 2008 and wala naman hiningi sakin na documents or additional tests kahit dineclare ko. Cleared din medicals. Sa NHS Makati po itong experience ko.

You would just need to wait a few days to see if the medical will be cleared.

Not sure what the dipstick test is, but yung unang sample na binigay ko, may trace of blood kaya nagpakuha ulit ng sample. May konting trace pa din daw pero tinuloy na din. Nakakuha naman ako ng clearance.

Thank you po for sharing. Yes po, pinaulit din po yung sample. Then mag update na lang daw sila if may need na additional tests. Thank you again and sana ma clear din kami like you.

Meaning po done na po lahat ng tests and naupload na ng clinic yung results nyo via e-medicals. After a few days po if ok naman medicals nyo magcclear na po yan.

For example sa case namin po, Feb 9 po kami nag medicals, by Feb 12 May health clearance na yung partner ko. Nagfollow up ako sa clinic ng Feb 13 then bigla nalang sya nagupdate into Examinations ready for assessment - no actions required.

Today lang po Feb 23 sya nagupdate into “Health Clearance Provided - No Actions Required”.
