Attending the clinic
You can contact the approved clinic 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-September.
If you need to cancel your appointment, you should contact the clinic as soon as possible.
What you should bring with you
- valid identification which contains your photograph such as a passport, national ID card or Refugee Asylum Seeker Card
- 1 passport sized photo
- the TB test fee
If you would like an appointment with a female clinician, please ask the clinic when you schedule your appointment.
Test fees
Payment must be made in US dollars (USD). The cost of the test is in addition to the visa application fee.
The fee is not refundable if you test positive for TB or decide not travel to the UK, or your visa is refused.
The test fee does not cover treatment if you already have TB.
