There is a fee for the SLEC medical that must be paid during the appointment.  Just one standard, all-in fee for adult applicants.  Includes cost for all lab tests, vaccinations (except COVID), TB treatment (if required).

 

Do you happen to know that cost?

Regarding the medical appt. Is that one day and done? I can fly her to Manila the day before the appt and fly her back home the day after?  She says she heard from some places that they make you return the second day ‘sometimes’.

It is a 2 day ordeal that sometimes completes in 1.  You should plan for 2.

Finally done.

Next question. Paying for the physical at SLEC. Can you pay at the clinic? The instructions online mention pre-paying at Security Bank, but there are no branches anywhere near in my finances area.

if you go to  SLEC website. they give you a  flow chart. First thing is to check in and pay the fee at the front desk. Most  of us paid at the hospital. 

Make sure to schedule  your medical within 1 or 2  weeks prior to your interview day.
