You do not need to get a valid TB certificate if you’re applying on any of the following routes:
You must be tested for tuberculosis (TB) if you’re coming to the UK for more than 6 months and are a resident of Ukraine.
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 should 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 please let the clinic know.
What you should bring with you

- 2 recent passport sized photographs

On a separate sheet of paper, please write down your address in Ukraine (written in Latin alphabet) and your email. You should also write down your address and telephone in the UK (both addresses in Ukraine and in the UK should be the same as in your visa application).
