my wife has been given her settlement visa but her tb test runs out 6 days before her travel date do we need a new one.i have asked in the uk and the border agency says no,but the wife has asked vfs in bangkok and they say yes does any one know which is right

She does not have to retake the test. The TB test is required in order to apply for a visa. This is an extract from the UKBA website :

If you are planning to come to the UK for more than six months, you will need to be tested to show that you are free from TB before we will accept your visa application.

Your wife should carry the original certificate with her when she travels, and the x-rays, if she still has them.
