Hi Gubby, I just finished my medical last November 3 and 4, with God’s grace, I passed. This is just to add to the informative reply of Chancy and the rest, to your question as to how many days you may need to stay in Manila. I stayed from November 2-5 since my medical was scheduled Nov 3 at 9AM and finished the same day. However, was advised to come back the next day Nov4 1030AM for the result, this is when you will know if you passed, be vaccinated or failed and require sputum, not guaranteed that this will be all done in the morning that’s why its best to check out the following day, which for me is Nov 5. Also, please do not forget to bring your vax cards (with fotocopies) and very importantly, a print out of you Vaxcert Ph and its better to pay the fee beforehand at Security bank to finish Day 1 earlier. God bless on your visa journey.
