Documents required at Port of Entry in UK

[gdesai786]

Hi,

I got my HSMP Tier 1 in March 2009:

Please let me know what all documents I need at airport/Port of Entry in UK.

Foll checklist:
1. Educational qualifications
2. Passport
3. Payslips
4. Bank statements - GBP 2800 for single for last 3 months.

I am confused about following:
I have applied in March 2009 and got a stamp in same month. I submitted payslips before March 2009. At the time of entering UK, do I need the current payslips (12 months back from today) or payslips of 12 months before March 2009.

Please add/delete any other document in above checklist if it is not complete.

Thanks in advance.

• Passport + valid visa.

• Contact details of person you will be staying with. Generally not required for Tier-1(G) holders but good to have it handy.

They usually want to know where will you stay in UK. There is no harm in carrying the documents you submitted at the time if approval.

Yeah. No harm in carry but they will not ask if you have those documents or not. However, you will need to carry Chest X-Ray at the time of arrival...

pls correct it as:
Akash meant Medical Report (with x-ray) for the TB test..

[gdesai786]

Thanks for details.

Just summarizing:

I need following at UK port of entry:
1. Passport with valid Tier 1 visa
2. Initial hotel stay address
3. Medical report with X-Ray

Do you have a specific link/info that indicates which medical test they are looking out for? I need this info so that I can provide the same details to the doctor for test.

If I have missed anything on above list please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

You don't need to have any test or test report. Only chest x-ray is good to have. Even if you don't bring chest x-ray, it will be done while immigration. sometime it takes time, some time don't.

Carrying a chest x-ray report is usually helpful in reducing the time you spend at the immigration counter. You are not required to carry any other medical reports unless you suffer from some ailment and want to show it to your Doc here for continuing your treatment.

You can take the chest x ray from any radiologist + a report stating that it is normal and you dont have TB. Dont worry about the format too much, ,just tell the doctor to use whatever format they have.

Infact when I travelled for the frist time, I had spent atleast 2 hours to get the xray in India (travel to and from hospital + wait time there) and I eneded up keeping that in checkin luggage. Luckily, there was not much queue at heathrow that day, so new xray was done at the airport in just 15 mins.

Any radiologist will do. You do not need to carry the actual x-ray. Its the report thats required (if at all). Tell the radiologist that you need a chest skiagram

[ukjobaspirer]

based on my experience and from what my friends have said, x-ray report is the main thing.. most of the times they don't check the x-ray, but its better to have it in your hand to give them just in case they ask.

[pranavb]

What is akiagram? is it not same as x-ray?
Also I have taken x-ray and report from doctor on 31st Aug, however I would be traveling on 19th Sept. so should I take new x-ray and report from doctor may be on 16th /17th?

Yes skiagram is the technical term for X-ray (which is the ray used to create a skiagram). Anyways, your report dated 19th Sept is fine. X-rays are known to cause mutation in cells/ trigger cancer and no one should expect a person to keep himself exposing frequently to these rays.

[pranavb]

Thanks mate,
actually I was prepared to take another copy of x-ray on 17th Sept. 09 or on 18th Sept. 09. However now I will show the report which I had taken on 31st Aug. 09, along with Doctors report for the same.

Thanks a lot,

Cheers,
