At busy times you may have to wait 10 days for an appointment especially during the UK student visa peak season between June and September. We cannot arrange or prioritise appointments for you.

3. What you should bring with you
the passport you are using to submit your application and valid ID, which contains your photograph, such as a national ID card;
tuberculosis test fee; and
if you have had tuberculosis in the past or have any other lung disease you should provide details of your previous screening and, if possible, your medical notes and x-ray results.
If you would like an appointment with a female clinician, please ask the clinic when you schedule your appointment.

If you need to cancel your appointment please let the clinic know.

4. Test fees
The fee for tuberculosis screening is 105 US Dollars for adults and 40 US Dollars for children under 11 years old. The fee must be paid in Vietnamese Dong directly to the IOM clinic. The cost of the test is in addition to the visa application fee.
