The Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP UK) is the main qualification for general practitioners. International doctors need a UK Visitor Visa to attend the exam in the UK.
Doctors from Pakistan must apply for a Visitor Visa to sit the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) or the Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) in the UK.
Processing normally takes about 3 weeks.
UK Visitor Visa applications for MRCGP are sometimes refused if exam registration is not proven, financial documents are weak, or ties to Pakistan are not established.
Even if refusal letters state that there is no right of appeal or Administrative Review, applicants may challenge through a PAP, followed by a JR if necessary.
At UK Visa Consultants, we specialise in preparing strong MRCGP visa applications and advising on PAP and JR challenges, with a history of success in overturning refusals.
