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.

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 and please let them know if you are pregnant.
What you should bring with you
- valid identification which contains your photograph such as a passport, national ID card or Refugee Asylum Seeker Card
- 3 passport sized photos taken within the last 6 months
- the bank receipt to confirm payment of the fee for the TB test
Test fees
The fee for the test is 95 USD. The cost of the test is in addition to the visa application fee.
Information about how to pay the fee will be provided when you contact the clinic to book an appointment.
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.
