Tuberculosis Test Requirement for Switching Visa Categories in the UK 2024

No, you likely won't need a tuberculosis test if you're switching from a student visa to a sponsored visa within the UK in 2024, provided you haven't left the UK for more than 6 months in the past 15 months.

Here's why:

  • A tuberculosis test is typically required for visa applications submitted from outside the UK.
  • When switching visas from within the UK, the requirement is waived for those who haven't been away for an extended period.

For your specific situation, since you've been in the UK continuously for 15 months, you most likely meet the criteria for exemption.
