Current written requirement only

Administrative chest X-ray in Randburg

This request route is for someone who has a current written requirement from a named foreign embassy, employer, clinician, educational institution or other issuing authority.

Not a South African visa requirement: South Africa removed the old immigration radiological-report requirement in 2024, and Home Affairs waived the remaining medical-report requirement for temporary visas and permanent residence in July 2026. Do not request this X-ray unless another named authority currently requires it.
