Some countries are subject to mandatory TB testing
Mar 18
Applicants for UK visas valid for longer than six months in certain countries now require a certificate to show that they are free from infectious pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).
The Home Office has implemented a programme to screen applicants who wish enter the UK for more than six months for tuberculosis. Mandatory testing has begun in the following countries:
- Bangladesh
- Ghana (which also takes applications from Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Togo and Niger)
- Kenya (which also take applications from residents of Eritrea, Somalia Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania)
- Pakistan
- Sudan
- Thailand (which also takes applications from Cambodia and Laos).
