Starter Report

Medical Training Initiative
This form provides evidence that the MTI doctor has taken up the post for which they have been provided a Temporary Work - Government Authorised Exchange visa. It must only be completed by the doctor's employer, NOT the doctor themselves. Any starter report submitted by an MTI doctor will be rejected by the Academy.

06/05/2025
- In certain circumstances, a migrant may not have a physical TW GAE visa page in their Passport, and will only have an eVisa instead. In order to account for this possibility, we have added a new section to this report to reduce confusion regarding the "entry visa vignette" date.
