You must be tested for tuberculosis (TB) if you’re coming to the UK for 6 months or more and are a resident of the Dominican Republic.
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.

Attending the clinic
You must 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 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
- valid identification which contains your photograph such as a passport, national ID card or Refugee Asylum Seeker Card
