One of my friend was issued hsmp in dec 2008 from pakistan, he came uk in mar 2009 but left after 2 weeks because of recessions.

Now he is coming uk again, does he need latest valid tb certificate in hand to show at heathrow or not or may be they will do the test at the airport.

He may get asked if he is coming after 6 months to the country. Again, I am not sure of this and an be checked by writing to the relevant BHC before leaving for the UK.

They can scan you for TB at arrival as well. May mean a delay of 1-3 hrs though. Check if the VISA/Approval letter etc. says anything about pre-screening?

Since it is very easy to get a TB test done and get the report and x-ray done from ur country..

i suggest to get the test done before ur friedn flies to UK so that he dont need to worry abt if the Immig officer would or would not ask for it..

this will buy ur friend peace of mind..
