WARNING: No medical exam, no visa interview
If your medical examination report will not be completed by the time of your interview appointment (due to ongoing testing, treatment or other reason), you will not be allowed to attend your visa interview. Your interview appointment must be rescheduled until you receive your completed medical examination report. You can contact visasbkk@state.gov for rescheduling your visa interview appointment.
Before Your Medical Exam
You should present your complete medical and immunization records to the physician at your exam appointment. Bring the following documents to your medical exam:
- Passport: Ensure it has over 6 months of validity.
- Photographs: Four (1.5 x 2 inches) photographs taken within the last 6 months.

Medical Examination Forms (DS-2054, DS-3025, DS-3026, and DS-3030) will be provided by the hospital, as they must be handled by the panel physician.
After the Medical Exam
When your examination is complete, the doctor will either provide you with exam results in a sealed envelope or send them directly to the U.S. Embassy. If given an envelope to carry to your interview, do not open it. Instead, bring it to your visa interview. You should also bring the digital radiography CD with you to the interview.
For eMedical examination, the panel physician will submit the eMedical result through the eMed system. There is no need to bring the medical exam to the interview.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO IMMIGRANT AND FIANCE(E) K VISA APPLICANTS CONCERNING VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS
United States immigration law requires immigrant and fiancé(e) K visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of a visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations are now required to verify that visa applicants have met the new vaccination requirements, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:
- Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis
- measles, rubella and mumps
- Polio (inactivated)
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Haemophilus influenzae type b(Hib)
- Varicella
- Pneumococcal for adults
- Pneumococcal for children
- Meningococcal
- Influenza
- Rotavirus
To assist the panel physician and avoid processing delays, all immigrant and fiancé(e) K visa applicants should have their vaccination records available for review at the time of the medical examination. Here are the steps you should follow:
- Obtain Vaccination Records: Consult with your regular healthcare provider to obtain a copy of your immunization record.
- No Vaccination Record?: If you do not have a vaccination record, the panel physician will work with you to determine which vaccinations you may need to meet the requirements.
- Vaccination Waivers: Certain waivers of the vaccination requirements are available upon the recommendation of the panel physician.
Only a physician can determine which of the listed vaccinations are medically appropriate for you, given your age, medical history, and current medical condition.
