Get a TB/ Chest X-ray and Report from local Medical Lab that should be fine..

chest Xray and a report saying that you dont have TB. Make sure that Xray has your name or some reference no which is mentioned in the report.

if you dont get time to get the xray, dont worry too much. they will take it in heathrow. will probably add 30-60 min extra.

get a chest x ray for TB , that would be fine.

Try to get it if you can as it will save time at port of entry and I think they are charging (not sure) these days....

Seniors pls comment on charging .

all the best.

In the above posts, its mentioned that one has to get TB chest X-ray before going to UK. But I read on UK official website that this requirement is only for few countries and India is not included in that list.

Can somebody confirm that TB X-ray is not required for Indian citizens.

Thanks!

If you dont have chest x-ray , for sure they will take at immigration control in UK and I heard they are charging for xray these days.

They have took mine when I came in Jan2005 although it was free at that point of time.

If you have these handy , it will save you atleast a hour at immigration control , health check.

Hence I suggest you get a chest xray along with u if you can.
