Spouse Visa Granted but TB test certificate expired

[phil148]

Hi everyone! Im new here!


I applied for spouse visa and has just been granted today but the problem is my TB test Certificate is expired. Can I still travel to the UK with my expired certificate? I don't want to take another Xray as the result took ages (10 weeks). Do I need a valid TB certificate on my arrival to UK airport or expired cert. will do?

Any advice Id get is appreciated, thank you!

Congrat on your visa, what date did you submit your visa application at VFS GLOBAL, and did you submit at MANILA or CEBU. The TB test certificate only needs to be valid when you submit your visa application. You can arrive with an expired TB CERTIFICATE. They're not going to refuse you entry. And it's also commonsense, if the embassy didn't want you to enter the UK with an expired TB certificate, then they would have not issued you with a visa until you retook your TB test.

Hello! I submitted my application at VFS Manila.. Thank you, I just wish the immigration wouldn't question my expired certificate.
