... this has been posted/addressed a number of times on the forum..
... but basically ....
The Philippines is a TB-infected area, so officially any long-term visitors / immigrants
that arrive in the UK should be tested for TB.
This can either take the form of ...
1. Being asked at the point of entry for a valid X-Ray, confirming absence of TB
2. Being asked to submit to an X-Ray at the point of entry
3. Your details being taken, and a requirement for the entrant to have a test via
their local GP.
In practice, it really depends on who interviews you on arrival.... with many immigration
officers not even asking, or raising the topic.
Hope this clarifies (once again)
