I'm in the process of applying for a visa and found out I need a medical certificate. They mentioned I have to be certified by a doctor to show I'm not suffering from any illness that could affect public health under the International Sanitary Act 2005. I'm really nervous about it and not sure what kind of diseases they're checking for. Can you help me understand what this is all about and what I should expect when getting this certificate?
