Where to get tested for tuberculosis (TB) in the UK if you are a Hong Kong British National (Overseas).

Documents

Details

You must be tested for tuberculosis if all of the following apply:

  • you’re in the UK
  • you’re applying for the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visa
  • you did not provide a TB test certificate when you last entered the UK, because the duration of the visa you applied for was 6 months or less or you applied to enter the UK at the border

If you already have a valid TB test certificate from an approved test centre abroad you do not need to take a test again. You can include your certificate as part of your visa application.
