Attending the clinic
You should contact the 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 a few days after you request one. 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.
What you should bring with you to your appointment
- valid identification which contains your photograph, such as a passport, national ID card or Refugee Asylum Seeker Card
- 2 recent passport sized photos
- the TB test fee
- if you have had TB in the past or have any other lung disease, you should provide details of your previous screening and, if possible, your medical notes and x-ray results
Test fees
| 11 years and above | Below 11 years |

The fee must be paid in US dollars (USD) or the equivalent in your local currency at the clinic. The cost of the test is in addition to the visa application fee.
The fee is not refundable if the person tests positive for TB or decides not travel to the UK, or their visa is refused.
The test fee does not cover treatment if you already have TB.
