Attending the clinic

You should contact the 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 a few days after you request one. 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 need to cancel your appointment, you should contact the clinic as soon as possible.

If you would like an appointment with a female clinician, please ask the clinic when you schedule your appointment.

What you should bring with you

  • valid identification which contains your photograph, such as a passport, national ID card or Refugee Asylum Seeker Card
  • 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 must be paid in cash in US dollars (USD) only. 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.
