This is the centre. The TB certificate looks different if you get it from one of these ( https://www.gov.uk/tb-test-visa/countri … ter-the-uk
). But UK consulate will accept it for visa purposes. No need to be worried.

Hello everyone,

I’m having issue with my Saudi Council Engineer because my membership was suspented due to my certificates are not verified from my home country. actually i have 2 diploma the first one i submitted to SCE was rejected and i went personally to SCE branche office and they advise me that submit a new appeal and pay for 500sr. now i got already my diploma and TOR from my university. My question is, if i will submit with the new one they will not ask for the old one?

Is there any other location  for  uk affiliated medical rather than Riyadh

Please confirm if any one has gone through TB testing in Saudi Arabia for UK Study Visa?

Hi, if your residency in Saudi Arabia reaches 6 month or more you do not need the tb test.
I did it in OMC- Olayia Medical Center by mistake because I live here for more than 2 continuing years.

mohammedt7742

Yes correct. Please see the below sentences form: https://www.gov.uk/tb-test-visa

Who does not need to be tested
You will not need a TB test if any of the following apply:

you’re a diplomat accredited to the UK
you’re a returning UK resident and have not been away for more than 2 years
you lived for at least 6 months in a country where TB screening is not required by the UK, and you’ve been away from that country for no more than 6 months

Was the TB certificate from Olaya clinic accepted when you processed your uk visa screening? I am also planning to work in the UK and read about visa processing.. Please give me a heads up, thanks!

mohammedt7742

Yah, accepted I am in UK now. Where you will be in the UK?

hulyana3309

I have passed the interview conducted by East Sussex NHS Trust but I am planning to change the Trust. Waiting to be interviewed by Royal Devon and Exeter NHS...Once I passed, i can get there to UK maybe in 2 to 3 months..

mohammedt7742

I think if you stay in Saudi Arabia for six months or more the TB test not required. People coming from KSA to UK the TB test not required  from them to get the visa. Please ensure and do not spend SR500 on some thing not required.Please keep us updated  because I want to bring the family.

hulyana3309

I just want to ask, my iqama will expire on 7 Dec and my interview from NHS would be tomorrow…Can i still get a visa to UK?

@moorthim4 There is no need to submit the test report if you are living and a resident of KSA
