Entry clearance for Family Visitor

Post by RosyTier1 » Sat Nov 30, 2013 5:51 pm

Hi,

My parents have got Family Visitor visa for 6 months and they are travelling soon to UK. They are both aged 54 and 58 years.
As I understand they need to show TB screening certificate during their entry clearance at airport immigration.
Is this TB Xray report with PQ form stamped with other medical doctor is sufficient or they need to be signed and stamped by clinics listed in UKBA website?

The reason I'm asking is when I came first in UK as Tier 1 dependant I showed all my medical test report file along with chest Xray and form PQ signed by my family doctor and not by listed clinics in mumbai.

Also do family visitor required to have travel insurance before travelling to UK?

Please clear my doubts. Thanks.

-Rosy

This is not necessary for visit visas of less than six months. It would have been required for the visa application itself if it were a requirement.

If you are coming to the UK for less than 6 months you do not need to be tested for tuberculosis.

Insurance is optional but not all services from the NHS are free (although most A&E emergencies are) so it depends on what they might think will happen to them.
