STD Warehouse Posted Friday at 06:08 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:08 AM I'm applying for a UK Returning Resident visa, and I need to supply VFS Global in Phuket with a TB test. it implies https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-thailand/tuberculosis-testing-in-thailand#attending-the-clinic only two approved clinics in Bangkok... So I can't just walk into my local branch of Bumrungrad Hospital and get a nicely certified TB test on official letterhead from a doctor after an X-ray; it's not allowed, right? Have gotta go by a boat->fly->taxi to a clinic in Bangkok? What...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted Friday at 06:33 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:33 AM You have to use the only approved clinic in Thailand I’m afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted Friday at 06:35 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:35 AM I don't think anything is implied. It is a requirement. The reason that the test can only be done at the approved clinics is because it would be too easy to obtain fake certificates elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate got one from Dr. Lek on Sukhumvit Soi 14; he says it's legit as its gotta a stamp, must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony M Posted Friday at 12:22 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:22 PM It's not legit. May not even be genuine. If the idea of the TB test is to get a UK visa, then good luck. The visa will be refused if it is not from an approved TB test centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
