Tb Test For Uk Visa In Uae
Are you eligible to get the best UK visa in UAE ? The United Kingdom is one of the favorite destinations for those who want to earn money, learn different skills and even start a business. However, getting the right matchless immigration solutions is a difficult task. It’s easy to get confused amidst all the numerous immigration schemes that are available in UAE.
Do you have a job offer from an employer in the United Arab Emirates? Do you want to study abroad in the UK? Have you been told by your friends that you can’t get a student visa to study in the UK if you live in the United Arab Emirates? This is not 100% true!
If you want to apply for a UK visa and live/work in the UAE, you need to pass the TB test. If you fail, your application will be rejected.
If you don’t pass the TB test, it doesn’t mean that you have tuberculosis (TB). It means that you have been exposed to someone who has TB. This can happen if they sneeze, cough or spit near you.
The purpose of the test is to find out whether or not you have been infected with TB bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). If you have been infected with TB bacteria, but have no symptoms of disease then it is called latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
However, if left untreated an LTBI can develop into active TB disease within several years.
Who does not need to be tested
You will not need a TB test if any of the following apply:
- you’re a diplomat accredited to the UK
- you’re a returning UK resident and have not been away for more than 2 years
- you lived for at least 6 months in a country where TB screening is not required by the UK, and you’ve been away from that country for no more than 6 months
Children
All children must see a clinician who’ll decide if they need a chest x-ray. Children under 11 will not normally have a chest x-ray.
You must take your child to an approved clinic and complete a health questionnaire. If the clinician decides your child does not have TB they’ll give you a certificate. Include this certificate with your child’s UK visa application.
Pregnant women
You can choose:
- an x-ray with an extra shield to protect you and your unborn child in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters
- a sputum test (phlegm coughed up from your lungs) – there may be an extra fee and you could wait up to 8 weeks for results
- to wait until after delivery
If you do not want to be tested you can use an x-ray taken within the last 3 months at a UK-approved screening clinic. Ask a clinician at an approved clinic to review your x-ray. If it’s accepted the clinician will give you a certificate to provide with your UK visa application.
