Is original TB certificate required for the first time trave

Hi

I have received original documents back from HO along with original TB certificate. My spouse will be travelling from Pakistan in next couple of weeks. Will she need to carry original TB certificate to show at the time of her first entry in the UK?

A TB certificate is only required as part of a visa application. It is not required at the point of travel.

Best to carry it to show to the Medical Officer. Else, they may waste time and X-Ray her at the airport again.

...and there wouldn't be anything to be gained by leaving it behind. :idea:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

It was sent back to me in the UK with other supporting documents. I have posted to my spouse just to avoid any issue at the entry.
