List Of Hospitals For Work Permit Health Check In Vietnam
By LevelAdvise Legal Team | January 10, 2025, Ho Chi Minh City
Overview
For foreigners applying for a Vietnam work permit, a valid health check certificate issued by an authorized medical facility in Vietnam is a mandatory requirement. Not all hospitals or clinics are permitted to conduct health checks for foreign employees—the hospital or medical center must be licensed and approved to perform work permit medical examinations for foreigners in Vietnam.
This article provides a practical, city-by-city list of commonly used hospitals and medical centers, together with their reference health check fees, to help foreign employees and HR teams plan ahead and avoid unnecessary delays.
The information in this article is based on data compiled and reviewed over the past few months, with the most recent fee check conducted in December 2025.
Important: All fees mentioned are for reference only. Hospital fees, examination scope, and procedures may change depending on internal policy, gender-specific tests, or additional medical requirements. Applicants are strongly advised to contact the hospital directly to confirm the latest fees, procedures, and appointment requirements before visiting.
Despite this limitation, we intentionally include price ranges and reference fees to help foreign employees and HR teams compare options, plan budgets, and avoid unnecessary surprises, an aspect that is often missing from similar articles online.
What Is Included in a Work Permit Health Check?
A standard health check for work permit purposes usually includes:
-
General physical examination
-
Blood tests and urinalysis
-
Chest X-ray
-
Assessment of internal medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, ENT
-
Conclusion and certification by the medical facility
Some international hospitals may include additional screenings or require advance booking. Applicants should always confirm the exact scope of examination when making an appointment.
Final Note
Once again, we strongly recommend that applicants contact hospitals or medical centers directly prior to visiting—not only to reconfirm the latest fee information, but also to clarify examination procedures, required documents, and appointment policies. Each medical facility may apply different internal processes, and some hospitals require advance booking for work permit health checks.
