Hi babygirl, did you mean TB Test? I am not aware of any medical requirements needed in order to apply for a visa.

Unless there have been any Changes recently, there were no medical requirements 9 months ago!!

I am not aware of a requirement for medical examination.
There will be a pre-entry tuberculosis ( TB ) screening programme for applicants wishing to come to the UK, involving 67 “ high incidence “ countries including the Philippines.
The new procedure means if you are applying for a UK visa from the Philippines for 6 months or more, you must be screened before you apply - but not for tourists, business visitors or other visitors, going for less than 6 months.
The programme has NOT yet been implemented – although it may do so during 2013.
There is further information here :-

When i applied my fiancee visa last June 2012, they didn't asked me for a medical exam and when I arrived here July 2012 they just asked if i undergo a chest x-ray and i said no, and they didn't told me to do so...until now :biggrin:.

I don't think there is a UKBA list of accredited clinic or hospital where you should get your TB screening. Just go to a licensed clinic or hospital.

I was not asked for it in the airport immigration when I arrived here last 3Q of 2012. But my two friends were asked to provide TB test results. After a few months, they received a letter from NHS to get another TB screening.

Babygirl, which UK airport do you think you will arrive to ?
When ?

As it stands today, there is no requirement for any medical or for TB screening.
If you wish to bring a chest X-ray that's solely a personal decision.

Hi Babygirl777, reading someone's post this morning reminded me of your question. I don't know if you already submitted your application but if you haven't until Feb. 28, read this: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/countries/philippines/applying/tb-test/?langname=null

Of course, we need to apply for a medical certificate, while applying for visa. As it is most important in some cases. Because, person with some specific diseases or health probs could not even allow to travel through an airline.
