If you are coming to the UK for more than 6 months and have lived in Ghana, you must take a
tuberculosis (TB) test at a UKVI-approved clinic before you apply. There are
6 approved clinics - four in Accra and two in Kumasi. Using any other clinic
means your visa will be refused. The certificate is valid for 6 months from the date
of your X-ray.
Only These Clinics Count
A TB certificate from a non-approved hospital is not accepted and leads to automatic refusal. Always book directly through the clinic's official website or phone number below - never through a third-party "agent", and confirm payment details with the clinic before paying.

Tips for Your TB Test
- Test early - book at least 10 weeks before your application. If your chest X-ray is unclear, you may need a sputum culture test that takes 6-8 weeks for results.
- Same-day certificate - if your X-ray is clear, most clinics issue the certificate the same day.
- Bring your passport - you need valid photo ID, and the certificate is tied to your passport number.
- 6-month validity - counted from the X-ray date, so don't test too early (it can expire before your decision). It is only valid for 3 months if you have been in contact with a family member who has active pulmonary TB.
- Children - those aged under 11 usually don't need an X-ray; a clinician assessment is normally enough.
- Pregnant applicants - tell the clinic; options include a shielded X-ray or sputum test.
