    Newbie here! Need advice

    Hi guys I'm Kath. I been following this forum since last year (before I applied for fiance visa) and finally today, I got the strength to register here. LOl. I got my visa today but my TB Certificate is expired. I dont want to take another test coz it cost another Php 3200 lol Is there any airport in England (except Manchester) that do not require/need TB Test Certificate upon arrival? Many thanks

    Hello kitty--and welcome. Congratulations on getting your visa !

    I can't help about your TB question--but I'm sure others will.

    Can you tell us more about getting your visa--like--when did you apply---how long it took---were there any problems to overcome ?

    Hi Kath, welcome to the forum.

    Go to this thread -

    Hello, Kath ... congratulations on obtaining your visa and

    Now, as regards the need for producing a TB Test Certificate, I do know many UK airports have tightened up on this requirement, e.g.,
    it used to be possible for incoming passengers to have such tests carried out upon their arrival. But to be honest ... ... I'm not absolutely certain whether that procedure still operates.

    However, rest assured someone will be along shortly to answer your question.

    Hi Kath and a warm welcome aboard Filipino UK

    Congratulations on winning your Fiancee visa

    Now that you made your first post I hope you'll share more about your own immigration journey.

    You'll find plenty of friendly support here.

    In addition to the post highlighted by Rayna I can also say that I contacted UKVI on this very question and here's the reply they sent me:-

    Dear Mr xxxxx

    Thank you for your email.

    The TB certificate needs to be valid at time of application to show that the applicant is free from TB. It doesn’t need to be renewed before they travel to the UK. As long as it is valid when they apply. We hope this clarifies your concern.

    Yours sincerely

    Mrs xxxxx
    Entry Clearance Assistant
    Correspondence Team, Manila Visa Hub
    UK Visas and Immigration

    Home Office
    British Embassy Manila
    So don't be concerned about that.

    Hi Sir! I submitted my application on 20th February, received an email and text on the 25th of February saying my visa application is under process at the British Embassy. And yesterday, I got an email saying "visa will be dispatched shortly" In total of almost 11 weeks of waiting

    Thank you very much guys for the quick reply! I heard only Gathwick and Heathrow has clinic at the airport. I'll be arriving to Stansted in London as I don't want to stay for a few hours at the clinic after a long flight Lol.

    @Sir Michael I'm going to Kent

    Hi Kitty! Congrats on your visa. Is this true that Stansted Airport has no facility? My certificate is expired too but I'm still waiting for the decision.

    Hi there Kitty Wow, I envy you for having your visa.
    Congratulations. My TB certificate has expired last month and I will be heading to Manchester.
