Hi ,

I have to get a medical certificate issued by authorized doctors for Work permit purpose. Can anyone please suggest a doctor who can provide such certificate in Antwerp. And how long do they take to issue that.Do they do it immediately ?

Any general practitioner can sign the medical certificate (after he/she examines you).

format is here: https://www.werk.be/en/work-permits/gen … tion/forms

Not sure what tests they do before signing a medical certificate. Time taken will depend on this.

Call or consult your family doctor.

All the best !

I dont know any. Look for any general practitioner in the area that you live in.

Hi,
I am currently in Belgium and will be returning to India to apply for a VISA D (Change in Employer).
Can I take the medical test in Belgium? and does this need to be further legalized?.
Also as I read earlier posts, any doctor in Belgium  can provide the document?

Thank you

If you apply from India, it is better to do the medical certificate in India itself.

Hi,
Just for anyone applying similar to me.

I checked with the Indian Embassy and they said we can use the Medical Certificate from any doctor in Belgium.

Hi Rob,

Were you also in a Visa-D before also?

I am asking that because you mentioned that you are going to india for a change in employer

If we change employers then do we have to go through the whole process of work permit again from India or is it more simple?
