TB Health Check for UK Visa Applications

What do I need to bring to my Clinic appointment?

1. Valid Identification which contains your photograph such as a Passport, National ID card, or Refugee Asylum Seeker Card.

2. A Photocopy of your identification

3. A Passport Photo

4. The Clinic fee can be paid either online at booking or by bank or credit card in the clinic.

Please note: You can organise your Chest X-ray with The Ulster Independent Hospital and Kingsbridge hospital, in Belfast or Alliance Medical in Hillsborough.

We need your booking information before we can send your chest Xray referral. At Kingsbridge hospital, appointment wait time for a chest X ray can be up to seven days and there may be delays due to COVID and lock-down restrictions. Alternatively at Alliance Medical, a walk in clinic operates allowing for same day X-Rays.

If you are travelling from outside of Belfast and would like to attend Kingsbridge hospital, we advise booking your appointment with us for a date seven days in the future so that we can organise your Chest Xray for you on the same day.

How much does the TB Screening Cost?

For your appointment, you will pay a consultation fee alongside a fee for the Chest X-Ray. The Consultation takes place in our clinic in Belfast city centre, and we then make a referral to another private Hospital to carry out the chest X-Ray. The X-Ray is paid for in the X-Ray clinic and prices vary between clinics.

• Adult Medical Consultation £160

• Child Medical Consultation £100

Please note children age 10 years and under do not require a chest Xray

If your x-ray results are normal, you will have completed the screening process; however, if there is something abnormal detected suggestive of TB you will need 3 sputum/spit tests.

If 3 sputum samples are required to test for TB there will be an additional cost of £220.
