Going Abroad for Work? Read This First
Many people from Kollam work in the Gulf. The medical check for a Gulf work visa has to be done at an approved medical centre, with tests that can't be done online. We can't provide that.
Kollam's Workplaces
Cashew processing units
Kollam is known as India's cashew capital, and many people, a lot of them women, work in its processing units. If you need sick leave, ask your supervisor what they want as proof.
Fishing and the harbour
Work at Neendakara and other harbours runs on tides and seasons. Starting online means you don't lose a working day travelling to a clinic for paperwork.
Government and bank staff
Public offices have their own leave rules. Check with yours before relying on a private certificate.
Students
If you study at TKM College of Engineering or one of the colleges affiliated to the University of Kerala, your college sets its own attendance rules. Ask what it accepts for missed classes or exams, and by when.

The Monsoon Fishing Ban
Every monsoon, Kerala's trawling ban keeps many boats in harbour for weeks. Fishing families around Neendakara lose income during the ban, and the rainy season brings leptospirosis, dengue and stomach infections. A fever with muscle pain after floodwater exposure needs a doctor in person.
Cashew Factory Work
Kollam has been India's cashew capital for generations, and many factory workers are women. Shelling and peeling bring hand burns from the shell oil, cuts and back pain from long hours sitting. Burns that blister need treatment in person. For an ordinary illness, a certificate can be requested online.
Families at Parippally Medical College
The Government Medical College at Parippally treats patients from across Kollam district. Staying with a relative who's admitted? Ask your employer whether a caretaker certificate will do.
A Cashew Worker's Request
A cashew factory worker in Kundara catches a viral fever during the monsoon. The factory needs a certificate for three days. She applies, lists the symptoms and says there's no rash or bleeding. The doctor asks a few questions and issues a certificate for the days the symptoms support.
Before You Apply
- Your employer or college
- The dates you need
- Your symptoms
- Any reports or prescriptions
- A working phone number
Kollam Through the Year
- June to September: heavy monsoon rain, the trawling ban, leptospirosis and dengue
- October and November: north-east monsoon showers
- December to February: pleasant weather and the tourist season
- March to May: hot and humid
Ashtamudi Lake and Backwaters
Families around Ashtamudi Lake depend on fishing, coir and tourism. Long days on the water and in the sun take a toll. If a co-op or employer needs proof you were unwell, a certificate can help.
