Uk Vist Visa Short Term- For Thai Wife

[Raindancer]

I have applied for and and been accepted for an appointment with VFS in BKK, having completed all the ON LINE application criteria. All seems well, but a well meaning friend has now told me that I need to have my wife tested for TB tests , two days in a row with the final result being given to me after the third day.... before I arrive at the VFS in BKK with supporting documentation as stated in my application.

Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

Many thanks

You would definitely get the answer to your question on the migration forum.

I don't think it is needed for a visit visa. But if it is you can get it done in a day. X ray and result

can not confirm but I know if I thought the friend was credible I would have it done any how. I presume that it is not a expensive test. I do know that it is not a requirement to go to the states.

Hope all is well and the wife has a enjoyable visit.

Good Luck

Many thanks for the info....Will go to the local hospital and have it done anyway...Would have thought that TB is done by blood tests . But am a novice at this medical level. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you so much for alleviating a concern that was beginning to bother me for such a simple visit. Great news. Could not understand why a short term visit was so rigorous and intensive according to the information from a well meaning person .

Cheers
