TB test requirements while returning back to UK from abroad

[mental4vray]

Hey,

I and my wife live in the UK since Feb 2014 on a tier 2 general visa. My wife has a Tier2 dependent visa. She came back to Mumbai on 8th Jan 2015 and I am in Mumbai since 2nd Feb 2015. I am not sure if we need to do a TB test again when we return to London on 27th Feb. We had done the tb test when we first went to London in Feb 2014, but the certificate was valid only for 6 months. Will the Border Agency officer ask for a tb certificate again now?

Thanks

Hi,

I have been studying in UK from September 2013 till 30 January 2015 (Master Studies). Now I am applying for VISA to study for PhD in UK starting 1 July 2015. Do I need a TB test again?

Not required.

I think so, as you are applying for a fresh visa that will be valid for over six months.

My response was not for your query! As mentioned by Vinny, you will need a TB test.
