The Medical That Opens the Work Permit
Nepal's work permit process requires a medical fitness certificate — proof that you are not a public health risk and are fit for the work. The examination is straightforward; the logistics are where it becomes annoying. The clinic streamlines it: the examination, the X-ray if needed, the certificate — same day, in English, formatted for official submission.
Work permit medical requirements
- Physical examination — general health assessment
- Chest X-ray — TB screening (standard requirement)
- Lab tests if specified — employer or permit type determines
- Vaccination review — ensure status is current
- Certificate in English — official format for authorities
Timing the Medical
Work permit medicals have validity windows — typically 3–6 months. Time your examination relative to your application; too early means the certificate expires before submission; too late delays the application. We provide certificates with issue dates clearly marked and advise on the timing that matches your permit timeline.
The Fitness Certificate
Nepal work permits may require the medical fitness certificate — the assessment that certifies the applicant is fit for the employment. The certificate requires the clinical examination and the relevant tests (the vision, the general physical, the specific tests the employer or the permit requires).
The Specific Requirements
The work permit medical requirements vary by the permit type and the employer — the INGOs, the government positions, the teaching posts have different requirements. For the specific certificate needed, the requirement specifies what the assessment must cover.

What medical is required for a Nepal work permit?
A medical fitness certificate from a recognized clinic — confirming you are free from communicable diseases (TB primarily), fit for the work you will do, and not a public health risk. The specific requirements vary by employer and work type; most require a chest X-ray and basic examination.
How long does the medical take?
The examination itself is 30–60 minutes. If chest X-ray or lab tests are required, add time for those. We can typically complete the medical and provide the certificate same-day — the paperwork that takes days elsewhere is a morning here.
What documents do I need to bring?
Passport (for identification), the work permit application or employer letter specifying requirements, any prior medical records relevant to the examination, and passport photos (some forms require them). The more documentation you bring, the smoother the process.
What does the examination include?
History and physical examination, chest X-ray for TB screening (standard for work permits), basic laboratory tests if required (blood tests, urinalysis), and review of vaccination status. The depth depends on the work type — some employers specify additional requirements.
Does the clinic provide the certificate in English?
Yes — all documentation is in English with internationally recognized format. For official submission to Nepali authorities, the certificate meets their requirements; for employer records, the format is standard international medical certification.
