Aspirants from Pakistan who want to visit the United Kingdom for six months or more will have to have tuberculosis (TB) test.

“You’ll need a TB test if you’re coming to the UK as a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner on a family visa and a returning resident and you’ve been away for more than 2 years,” the UK government said in an update on its website.

Below is the list of clinics approved by the Home Office. Aspirants will have to keep in mind that a TB test certificate from a clinic approved by the UK would only be accepted.

Candidates should bring valid identification which contains photograph, passport, national ID card or Refugee Asylum Seeker Card when they arrive at the centre for the test. Moreover, three passport-size photographs on a white background with neutral expressions and the TB test fee are required.
