xray for entry to UK

[aprilhsmp]

I have got my EC and there was no medical test required. Do I still need to carry some x-ray report?

is it must to have xray at health counter at UK airport.

what other medical reports they need apart from xray.

Hi aprilhsmp,

I have applied for my EC and awaiting a decision. However based on my earlier experience I wish to comment on your query.

When I travelled to UK as a student, I did undergo my medicals and carried my chest X-ray. In heathrow I was asked to produce the X-ray report and it helped me to clear my immigration check in about 10 minutes. I heard from few of my other friends who landed without an X-ray report that the officials in heathrow actually had their chest x-ray done in the airport and then sent them out. Eventually it took about 1 hr for them to step out of the airport. All this fuss is only to ensure that they do not allow any travaller with TB to step into to UK. With the recent news of a passenger in US detected for TB, I would advise to have a report done.

Rgds,

helpful to have it, but not mandatory.

I didnt, so I had to get one done at the airport. No fee, and only added about 30 minutes to my overall wait.

Even if u dont have no worries. They didnt ask me for any xray. So, no problem. Even if they ask they will take care of that, dont worry and be cool.

aprilhsmp, if you come in through Heathrow, you will be asked to produce your chest xray, if you dont have it, you will have to take one in the airport, you may meet a queue, thus creating delays for you, Gatwick is not particular, they wont ask you for it.
Congrats.
