List of visa tuberculosis examination processes in the UK

When applying for a British visa, the tuberculosis examination report is a necessary material when applying for a visa, so how should we prepare it? Below, I have compiled a list of visa tuberculosis examination procedures for you in the UK, hoping to help you.

1, confirm the clinic and make an appointment.

Although the list of clinics provided by the British Embassy has email address and telephone number, it is strongly recommended that you choose telephone appointment as the quickest way. During the physical examination, I learned that there were students waiting in line at the clinic from morning till night. Do you want to say that the staff has time to reply to the email? ! I don't believe it.

After determining the specific date and time period, you need to make some preparations.

Two two-inch photos (because the final report will be used for visas, it is recommended that you bring two-inch visa photos with a white background)

Original passport

Scanned passport.

Confirm a domestic address and a British address. The domestic address should be filled in with the domestic contact address when applying, while the British address is the address of the British school to be attended (which can be found in unconditional offer or conditional offer).

2, the British visa tuberculosis physical examination

Since June and July are the peak periods for visas, the clinic is in a state of queuing at full capacity almost every day. When you arrive at the clinic, the staff will ask you to fill out three documents. Fill in the content is very simple, according to the template provided by the staff, it can be done in a few minutes.

After changing clothes in the locker room, just wait for the inspection. According to the visual inspection, the average inspection process is 3-5 minutes. A mysterious examination, actually a chest X-ray. So you don't have to be nervous

3. Pay fees and wait for reports

550 yuan (excluding tuberculosis treatment fee) shall be paid after the examination.

If the chest X-ray results are normal, you can get the report after 3 pm that day (as shown below). If there are many people in the organization, the time may be delayed until around 6 pm. Of course, all testing institutions provide express service, and you can also choose to express the report results.

However, if the chest X-ray results are inconclusive, it is necessary to test the sputum specimen sadly, and it will take 2 months to get the test results (so it is recommended that you do tuberculosis test in May, and the test report is valid for 6 months, and you can get a visa within the validity period of the report).

4. Frequently asked questions about visa tuberculosis physical examination in the UK.

Q: If students are already in the UK and need to renew or reapply for a visa, where can they have a tuberculosis test?

A: If students submit visa materials in the UK, they don't need to provide test certificates. At present, the UK Visa and Immigration Administration has not appointed any medical institution in the UK to conduct this test.

Q: Students have registered for preparatory courses for less than 6 months. Why are they required to issue TB test certificates when submitting application materials?

A: Although many students have participated in the preparatory course for less than six months, because the preparatory course has a strong correlation with the following main courses (usually more than six months), and students are likely to stay in the UK to study the main courses after the preparatory course, students often need to issue test certificates when submitting the visa application for the preparatory course.

Q: Can the TB test certificate replace the original health and quarantine certificate?

A: Just because the TB test certificate is a document required by the UK Visa and Immigration Bureau, all visa applicants who have been over 6 months must submit it when applying for a visa. The health and quarantine certificate is a document required by the British Customs, and it must be submitted according to the instructions of the staff when entering the UK.

Q: The name and contact address of the school on the medical certificate of visa tuberculosis in the UK are different from those confirmed at the time of delivery (that is, the school on CAS). Is the test certificate still available? Do you need to do it again?

A: If the test report is still valid, you don't need to do it again. However, students need to write an explanatory letter when submitting materials, explaining why the schools on the report are different from those on CAS.
