Only issue I had was the video; it has to be less than 65MB. Took me a while to send the video file to my laptop so I could upload it. Good luck.”
“I asked at my GP surgery for a summary for a good health certificate and collected it about a week later. It was only a single page. I then scanned it to my laptop with a copy of my passport and just uploaded them. The process on ZoomDoc was really simple.”
“I rang GP and asked for patient summary to be printed out, receptionist done it straight away and then just scanned it and uploaded it.”

According to Spainguru’s Facebook group members, when obtaining the medical certificate through ZoomDoc for the Spain Non Lucrative Visa, applicants need to upload their passport, a health summary from their GP, and a short video.
The health summary can be requested directly from the GP office and usually includes basic medical history. Once submitted, the process is quick—often within minutes. It’s important to note that after receiving the medical certificate, it must be apostilled and sworn translated for visa application purposes.
Additionally, Spainguru offers a helpful discount on ZoomDoc services and access to trusted translation and apostille providers. Preparing early for appointments and ensuring all digital uploads meet size requirements will make the process smoother.
