FAQ: Health Screening for TB
  • Do I have to be tested for tuberculosis (TB)?
If you are planning to go to the UK for more than six months, you will need to be tested to show that you are free from TB before the VFS will accept your visa application.
  • I made my application before this requirement started. Do need to take a test?
No. If your application was accepted before the start date, you do not need to show a certificate before the High Commission makes a decision on your application. But you may have to be tested on arrival in the UK.
  • Why do I have to be tested for TB?
TB is common in Bangladesh and is an infectious disease which can be spread by close contact with other people. The UK wants to encourage greater awareness and treatment of TB in Bangladesh, as well as protecting people in the UK.
Being tested before you travel also means that the arrival procedures in the UK will usually be much quicker.
  • How much will the test cost?
In Bangladesh the cost is $56 per person. About Tk. 4000/=
  • How you will test for TB?
Before VFS will accept you visa application they will ask you to contact the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), who will arrange for you to have a chest x-ray at an accredited clinic or hospital. If the x-ray shows signs of infections, the clinic will do other tests to find out whether you have infectious TB. This can take several days.
  • Where will I have to go for the test?
Clinic details:
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) will operate the following 3 clinics.
Telephone bookings for all three clinics can be made at the call center from 08:30 to 16:00 hours, Sunday through Thursday, on these three numbers only: +880-2-9676071, 0173 047471, 0173 066230.

  • What will happen if I do not have TB?
The IOM office will give you a certificate which you must submit with your visa application form and other documents so that the High Commission knows that you are free from infectious TB.
  • What will happen if I do have TB?
The IOM will not give you a certificate and you will not be able to apply for a visa until you have been cured. The IOM will give you advice and tell you how to get treatment for infectious TB. A full course of treatment usually takes six months. After you have been cured you must be tested again. If the test shows that you are free of infectious TB, the IOM will give you a certificate so that you can apply for your visa.
  • Will I have to pay for treatment?
The IOM office will advise you about this.
  • Will I have to pay for the second test after I am cured?
Yes
  • What about pregnant women?
Pregnant women will be offered a chest x-ray with abdominal shielding to protect the unborn child. If they decline, other tests may be carried out or delays may occur.
  • I have TB and I have an urgent need to travel to the UK and cannot wait for six months. What can I do?
If you have an urgent and compassionate need to travel, you will need to give us full details of the reasons why. We will take these into consideration when we make a decision about giving you a visa. Urgent and compassionate reasons are likely to be when there is a close family member in the UK who is a seriously ill, or when your travel to the UK cannot be delayed for exceptional reasons. If we do allow you to travel you will be expected to begin treatment for TB when you arrive in the UK.
  • What will happen if I refuse to take a TB test?
You can still make your visa application, but we will refuse your visa.
  • Is anyone exempt from this requirement?
Only children under 11 years old, holders of diplomatic passports and returning residents do not need to give us a TB certificate.
  • Will I need to take my certificate with me to the UK?
Yes. You should carry it in your hand luggage. If you do not, you may be delayed on arrival in the UK. We also advise that you take your chest X-ray with you in case you need to see a doctor in the UK.
  • Will I need to take any more TB tests while I am in the UK?
If you have been in contact with someone who has TB, or you become ill, you may be asked to take a test.

Roll of The Approved Education Provider

The education provider must be approved by UK Border Agency and have a licence to bring students to the United Kingdom. Once they are licensed, they are given a rating and added to our tier 4 register of sponsors (also known as education providers).
Your approved education provider must issue you a visa letter for you to be able to apply as a student. The visa letter is confirmation of your unconditional offer of a place on a course of study. You must have a visa letter when you apply, or your application will be refused
Later on in 2009, approved education providers will start using our new IT system to start issuing confirmation of acceptance for studies, which is an electronic number, to allow you to apply for a student visa.
