For British students, we have to apply for two medical certificates, one is the red version of the international travel health certificate, and the other is the yellow version of the international vaccination certificate. The former is similar to the physical examination items we usually do, including blood pressure, pulse, vision, otolaryngology, heart examination and so on. The latter is vaccination against certain diseases.
It should be noted that not all medical centers in any hospital can provide physical examinations that meet the requirements of going to the UK. You need to contact the local entry-exit physical examination center, consult clearly and bring your ID card, passport, photos and cash for physical examination. Physical examination needs to be done on an empty stomach, so the sooner you arrive, the better.
There is also a physical examination that must be provided when applying for a student visa, which is the tuberculosis examination. The inspection results should be submitted at the same time when applying for a visa. For details, please refer to: https://www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa/documents-you-must-provide.
Similarly, this kind of examination is not available in any hospital, but is designated by the British Home Office and requires an appointment before going.
At present, there are 14 cities in China that can provide tuberculosis examination, namely Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Harbin, Jinan, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Xi 'an. The specific locations where physical examinations can be provided in cities can be found in official website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/laboratories-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-China/approved-laboratories-testing-clinics-in-China.
Tuberculosis examination fee, 550 yuan. If you need the help of a female doctor, you must make an appointment in advance and explain clearly. Passport, passport photo, passport copy and inspection fee are required on the day of inspection.
If you have tuberculosis or other lung diseases before, you need to bring past cases and X-ray results. After the test results come out, you will get an English certificate and show it to the embassy.
In short, you can randomly check the international travel health examination certificate and international vaccination certificate when you enter the country, but you need to check tuberculosis when you apply for a visa for more than 6 months. In order to avoid unnecessary procedures and processes, it is safer for students to make full preparations before starting.
