菩提樹之歌 旅英準備部落格

每年都有人問起這個老問題, 進英國要做什麼健康檢查.
據我所知, 就 "要求胸部Ｘ光一項" 而已, 而且是要 "帶著檢查報告在身上",
入境的時候交給審核的官員, 千萬不要放在大行李裡面!!拜託大家!!
最好的辦法就是 "和護照還有入學許可夾在一起".
至於Ｘ光片本身, 我個人認為, 對於通過移民關卡是一點用處也沒有. 我是不會帶的.
千萬不要和要求很煩的美國相提並論, 去美國要準備的細項我也不清楚.
至於同時也在英國公醫制度裡廣為宣傳的腦膜炎疫苗或淋病篩檢, 與入境無關.
其他要去美國時會建議注射的疫苗, 各位可以自行考量. 我不提出個人見解.

經常有人問到, 進入英國時到底應該準備哪些健康檢查的文件.

我考察了一些文件, 以下透過引用英國官方網站的方式,

向各位作個簡單的陳述, 並會附上原文做為佐證.

但是一切實況仍依英國官方當時規定為準. (免責陳述句 XDDDDD )

1. 誰需要健康檢查

進入英國超過六個月的人, 就應該進行健康檢查,

Applicants for UK visas valid for longer than six months in certain
countries now require a certificate to show that they are free from
infectious pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).

得豁免者包括十一歲以下兒童, 外交官及親屬, 以及重返英國者.

(所以中間如果回台灣或去歐洲玩, 再入境時一般不會被要求提出文件的)

We will not require certificates from children under 11 years old,
diplomats and their families (this exemption does not include other
members of diplomats' households such as domestic staff), or
returning residents.

2. 健康檢查的主要目的與項目

健康檢查的主要目的是避免從境外移入感染性肺結核患者.

This programme is part of our ‘firm but fair’ policy on immigration
and will benefit the UK’s public health by preventing the entry into
the UK of infectious tuberculosis sufferers until they have been
successfully treated. It will also support the Department of Health’
s Tuberculosis Action Plan. The programme also has advantages for
applicants who may benefit from and early diagnosis of TB. Host
countries will also benefit from earlier detection of individuals
with the disease.

篩檢方式是取得胸部Ｘ光片的篩檢報告.

Applicants will first be required to have a chest x-ray. If this
shows signs of infection, they will be required to undergo further
tests.

Entry clearance applicants for stays over six months will need to get
a certificate from an accredited clinic showing that they are free
from infectious tuberculosis. If they do not have such a certificate,
their entry clearance application will normally be refused.

請將你的篩檢報告隨身攜帶. (就和護照夾在一起, 請不要放在大行李!)

A further benefit of the programme is that successful applicants will
no longer need to undergo medical inspection on arrival in the UK,
before being allowed to enter the country. This can be a time
consuming process but can be avoided if those coming to the UK carry
their screening certificate in their hand luggage to present to an
immigration officer on arrival in the UK.

記得最後的提醒: 把胸部Ｘ光報告和護照夾在一起, 就對了!

祝大家入境愉快!
