They always have new rules

I entered UK at Newcastle in 2006 no hastle. A young woman immigration officer just checked my passport with a nice smile and thats it.

As of October 2007, the countries where applicants required the certificates were: • Bangladesh • Ghana (which also takes applications from Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Togo and Niger) • Kenya (which also take applications from residents of Eritrea and Somalia) • Pakistan • Sudan • Tanzania, and • Thailand (which also takes applications from Cambodia and Laos)

The British Government will be extending the TB testing requirements to those applying for visa entry from a further 6 countries: China, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Philippines, South Africa and Zimbabwe. We will tell you when TB screening is due to start in these countries as soon as we are able to.

why test people only who are coming for 6 months or more, probably the problems and delays it would cause if they asked everyone who came to the UK for a TB cert or to do an x-ray at the airport

also my misses tells me, it can take 6 months to treat TB, so if your here for less than 6 months, why bother and also the problems it would cause for the NHS. so for those coming for 6 months or more is where the gov has set the marker, and also if your here for 6 months or more, your probably here on a visa leading to settlement , so it would be a good idea to test those and treat them
