Do I need a certificate of tuberculosis to apply for a British tourist visa?

Yes, the requirement that UK residence visa applicants need to undergo pre-entry tuberculosis examination has been incorporated into the UK visa application process.

According to the requirements, all applicants who have applied for a British visa in China for more than 6 months (including a Class 4 student visa) must undergo tuberculosis testing.

This process will require all applicants to go to a medical institution in China designated by the UK Visa and Immigration Administration for testing before applying for a visa to the UK to prove that they are not infected with tuberculosis. Applicants need to submit proof that they are not infected with tuberculosis at the same time as submitting their visa applications.
