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 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, please let the clinic know.
What you should bring with you
- the passport you are using to submit your application and valid ID, which contains your photograph, such as a national ID card
