Attending the clinic
You should contact one of the approved clinics to book an appointment and make it clear you need the test for a UK visa application.
You can expect to get an appointment within a few days of your request. At busy times, you may have to wait 10 days for an appointment, especially during the UK student visa peak season between June and October.
If you would like an appointment with a female clinician, please ask the clinic when you schedule your appointment.
If you need to cancel your appointment you should contact the clinic as soon as possible.
What you should bring
- proof of identification, which contains your photograph, such as your passport
- the TB test fee
- if you have had TB in the past or have any other lung disease, details of previous screenings and, if possible, medical notes and x-ray results
Test fees
The fee for TB screening is typically between 100 and 250 Malaysian ringgits (MR) depending on the clinic. You will pay the clinic directly for the cost of your TB test. The cost of the test is in addition to the visa application fee.
The test fee does not cover treatment if you have TB.
