Get a same-day Spanish visa medical certificate, officially translated, wet-ink signed by an FCDO-registered doctor and delivered to your doorstep.
A medical certificate is a required part of many Spanish visa applications, especially long-stay visas such as the Non-Lucrative Visa, Student Visa, and other national visas.
If you’re applying from the UK, getting the right medical certificate can be confusing. Most NHS GP surgeries don’t offer this service, and many private clinics aren’t familiar with what the Spanish consulate expects. This often results in delays, extra costs, and unnecessary stress during the visa process.
At Merlin Health, we make the process straightforward.
We offer a same-day Spanish visa medical certificate service, designed specifically for UK applicants. Each certificate is signed in wet ink by an FCDO-registered doctor, which allows your document to be legally apostilled when required for your visa application.
We also include a free official Spanish translation, so you don’t need to arrange or pay separately for sworn translation services.
Everything is completed online. Just fill in our secure application form and one of our doctors will review your details.
Once approved, you’ll receive:
Every Spanish visa medical certificate we issue includes a free official Spanish translation. This means you don’t need to arrange a sworn translator or pay extra fees — everything is handled for you, saving you time, money, and hassle.
For Spanish visa applications, your medical certificate must be legalised with a Hague Apostille before it can be submitted.
We take care of this for you by arranging the apostille through the FCDO in Milton Keynes. We have direct counter access, which is not available to the general public — allowing us to process your documents much faster.
We can deliver your medical certificate, official Spanish translation, and Hague Apostille together in as little as four working days from the time you place your order. This gives you a fully translated and apostilled medical certificate, ready to submit with no extra steps needed.
Our process is fully online, simple, and designed to save you time.
Fill in our secure online form with your personal and medical details. The application takes just a few minutes to complete.
One of our FCDO-registered doctors carefully reviews your information to ensure your medical certificate can be issued correctly for a Spanish visa application.
Once approved, your medical certificate is issued and signed in wet ink. You’ll receive a digital copy by email, and a printed original delivered to your UK address. If selected, we’ll also arrange the Hague Apostille, giving you a document that’s ready to submit with no extra steps needed.
To request your Spanish visa medical certificate, you’ll complete a short and secure online application form. This includes:
There’s no appointment needed and no paperwork to post — the entire process is completed online.
“Applying for a Spanish visa is an exciting step, but the paperwork can sometimes feel daunting. At Merlin Health, we’re here to make the medical certificate part simple and straightforward.
Every Spanish visa medical certificate is personally reviewed and signed by a GMC-registered, FCDO-registered doctor, so you can be confident it’s been issued properly. To make things even easier, we include an official Spanish translation and can also arrange the Hague Apostille, saving you the time and hassle of organising these separately.
Our service is fully online, with no appointments to attend and no unnecessary waiting. By taking care of everything in one place, we aim to give you peace of mind as you move forward with your visa application.“
Dr Michael Jones, Clinical Director at Merlin Health
