Hi all,
UK based and applying for JET for 2026. I have a question on the Statement of Physician requirement.
I understand they require the form completed and signed by a doctor, but the lead time for this is really random where I am. I've had occasions where I've requested a GPs letter and gotten it withing two weeks, other times it's taken over a month.
Does anyone know if it's acceptable to request it before applications open? Will it automatically be rejected if the form is dated from just before applications open?
I think if I requested it now there's a good chance I can get it back in a good time frame but I'm concerned if they're especially efficient then I might end up with a bit of paper I can't use.
EDIT – Thanks everyone for the responses so far, sorry I should have been more specific. The Statement of Physician is the form that is required if someone has a pre-existing condition, and must be submitted with the initial application. It's not the same as the later x-ray and TB tests. The reason I'm concerned about it is that it could take several times the application window to get the form completed, and I'd hate to miss out on at least submitting an application because I can't get this form back in time 😔
