TB test / English test time frame

[phuketbaan]

Hi

I was wondering if anyones wife had managed to complete the TB testing and English A1/B1 test for the UK spouse Visa in the same day?

 

Both are located in Silom ( IOM and English test centre). Directly opposite each other.

Heard the English test only takes 30mins.

 

Just saves having a night in Bangkok.

 

On another note. Is it worth just taking the B1 test  ( instead od A1 ) which is the next test in settlement visa further down the line.

My wifes English is good and it saves another test fee?

 

Any feed back on the 2 questioms greatful.

 

Thx in advance

It would be difficult to do as your wife has to go to the IOM building to register etc then they will send her off to the hospital for the TB test and then she has to go back to IOM to get the certificate. It took my wife most of the day and they close quite early. If there is a problem with the first Xray, which does happen, she will need another.

 

Well worth taking the B1 as it can also be used for ILR as long as they don't change the goalposts. They did for FLR for my wife and she needs A2 for her second FLR because they changed the rules.

Thank you RASG.

 

Will suffer a night in Silom.

It wouldn’t be suffering for us. Shanghai Mansions hotel in China Town would be our choice with the street food with river prawns across the road and the jazz bar in the entrance hall of the hotel. And they sell red wine that not on the fridge...
