Your test must be from a clinic approved by the Home Office. We will not accept a TB test certificate from a clinic we have not approved.

Approved clinic

Attending the clinic

You should contact the approved clinic to book an appointment and make it clear that 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 September.

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 with you

When you visit the clinic you will need to bring:

  • proof of identification, which contains your photograph, preferably your passport
  • the TB test fee
  • if you have had TB in the past or have any other lung disease, you should provide details of your previous screening and, if possible, your medical notes and x-ray results

Test fees

The fee for TB screening is set by 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.
