Vietnam Medical

Hi there,

I'm looking for some recent requirements regarding the (initial) medical requirements for Vietnam.
A search is not clear enough..

What I'm mainly interested in is the ECG, is this in rest position or during exercise, trying to get the preliminaries in Europe to send those over before I go down there...
Figuring out what I have to do over here.

Appreciate the feedback CK

Under 60, it’s resting. If you’re standard, you’ll pass, although the Doctor in Hanoi is known to make a fuzz when he looks at your results, hoping you freak out and offer some Dongs... If you ignore him, he’ll let you go...

No, but with all seriousness, they don’t really have any specific areas they fail pilots on; I even think you could be legally blind and pass the eye exam; what they do care about is cholesterol and things associated with it. They all smoke like chimneys in SE Asia, most have high blood and high sugar levels, barely do if any any sports, that is all ok; having high Cholesterol is “a bad Omen”.
Overall, if you have your Cholesterol within limits and you can walk up 3 flights of stairs without having problems catching your breath, you’ll pass...

I am about to go for an interview and I am bit worried about the weight. I gained a lot of weight since I stopped smoking.

Been told by the agency that they fail a lot of people because of BMI. Is this true.\?

Yup. Over 32 and you are out.

Unless Uncle Sam starts talking...
