Everything You Need To Know About IOM and How to Book an Appointment: For UK Visa Applicants

-


If you are in the process of your UK visa application either as the main applicant or a dependent under UK Tier 2 Skilled Worker Visa/ Health and Care Visa, one of the requirements that you might need to secure is an IOM certificate.

UK Visa Application – Tuberculosis Screening Information for IOM

The United Kingdom Tuberculosis Detection Programme (UKTBDP) involves the pre-departure testing of tuberculosis (TB) for individuals who intend to apply for a UK visa for longer than six (6) months. The UK Government designated the Migration Health Department of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to conduct the screening of applicants and issuance of certificates according to the UK Department of Health Protocol.

There is only one approved clinic in the Philippines for IOM. It is located in Makati City. If you are from the province, then you would need to travel to Manila to have the TB Xray done. 

Approved test clinic:

International Organisation for Migration Health Centre 

15th Floor, Units A and B Trafalgar Plaza 
105 H.V. dela Costa Street 
Salcedo Village 
Makati City 1227 
Metro Manila 

  • Telephone: +63 (2) 8883-9339 or +63 (2) 8511-8771
  • Mobile: +63 (917) 593-4688 (globe operator) or +63 (919) 993-4667 (smart operator)
  • Fax: +63 (2) 8883-9377
  • Email:  International Organisation for Migration 

How to Book The Appointment:

Using the IOM Health Centre contact details above, you can either call or email to book your appointment. In my opinion, it is easier to email the clinic as you will be able to keep track of your conversation, and calling can be tricky at times due to number of calls that they are getting.

To request an appointment thru email, fill out the information below with the applicant's details and send it to mhc.uk@iom.int - Include in the email that you are requesting for a TB Testing appointment.

Last name:

First name: 

Date of Birth:

Preferred date of Appointment: 

IOM is normally quick in responding to emails. Once your appointment has been confirmed, they will email you with a booking reference. Make sure that the name of the applicant on the confirmation email is correct. Take time in reading the email that they will send you as it comes with instructions and requirements that you may need to bring on your appointment day. Important: Check on their email response if they still require applicants to wear face shield.


Reminders:  

*If applicants have TB medical history or undergoing TB treatment or had any pulmonary disease/s in the past, kindly bring pertinent medical reports/results.  

*No specimen samples should be brought.  

 

The fees for the test are as below:  

10 years old and below 

11 years old and above 

Php 600.00 

Php 3,600.00 

*Cash payment only. Fees are to be settled at the Cashier in the clinic on the day of your scheduled appointment. 
 

Additional Notes:  

1.  If the x-ray and physical exam conducted by the doctor yield normal results, you can get your UKTB certificate within 2-3 hours of your appointment  

2.  If the results are normal, certificate is usually valid for up to 6 months from the date of your medical

I hope this helps, good luck!

If you are a filipino nurse under UK Tier 2 Dependent Visa / Health and Care Visa, and wants to bring your partner to the UK,  or If you wish to join your partner who works as a nurse in the UK, then this blog post might be helpful for you. My partner (we are not married) have just recently received his dependent partner visa and is now preparing for his flight to UK. I would like to share as much information as I can on how we prepared for the visa processing. There are some agencies that offer to assist in the visa application but their service can be a bit expensive depending on how complicated your case is. If you don't want to spend money on agencies, then maybe DIY is the right option for you. * Dependent - A dependant partner or child is any of the following:  your husband, wife, civil partner or unmarried partner .  * Sponsor -  A sponsor is  the person inviting the applicant to visit the UK.  You must prove your relationship to your dependent in order for your application

Road to become a UK Nurse Making UK dream happen, everyone has their own story. The struggles they had, the bittersweet experiences along the way, their success on how they made it and everything in between. Some are lucky enough to have a smooth and easy application while others had hiccups along the way. May it be financially, time-restraint, gaps, lack of drive to continue the process, doubts, relationships, health issues and other personal reasons.  As what they say, each one of us has our own unique timeline and life is not a race. As long as we persevere, set our mind to the goal, and work for it - we will get there!  Mine is a unique case too. I'd like to share my journey in a simplest way possible. Just a brief background, I graduated nursing March 2010, passed our local board exam July of thesame year, and I never worked in any hospital until 2019! No healthcare-related jobs at all. That was nine-long-years of gap! I worked in a BPO company since then until February of 201

Island Living: Isle of Wight

Welcome to the Island 🏝 Ryde Pier Head Railway Station Flashback two years ago, I remember I was given an option to choose which part of the UK to submit my job application to. I had a choice to be assigned in the mainland and an option to work in the Isle of Wight. I love beaches and prefer tranquil places so I obviously chose the latter. And location-wise, it was still one of the best decisions I made.  Isle of Wight is located in the south coast of England. The island is known for its beautiful beaches, rich history, and it's favorable climate. It is one of the favorite holiday destination in the country. The people in the island are especially warm and welcoming. Everywhere you look is a picturesque view. The transport system is simple and easy, not to mention cheaper than other parts of England. You can travel efficiently by any form of land transportation around the area and there's no trouble of heavy traffic. The island is a three hour journey away from London- via bus
