TB Test for UK Visa: Finding IOM
TB Test for UK Visa in Pakistan
Since March 2007, an additional requirement for Pakistani applicants of UK visas (6 months or more duration) is to have a tuberculosis (TB) certificate. The certificate is issued by International Organization for Migration (IOM). Except for a phone number (which is 051-111 466 472) nothing is listed anywhere on the Internet.

Below is an attempt to show you the location and tell you the process for Karachi residents (something similar would be applicable to Islamabad, Lahore and other cities). IOM Addresses for major cities can be found at the bottom of this post.

The process itself is as follows:

Step 1: Get Appointment from IOM
Keep your passport number handy, and call IOM call center on Islamabad. As with any kind of visa related issues, be very patient but consistent.

They will ask you for (a) the visa category you are applying, (b) your full name, (c) your date of birth, (d) and your passport number. The person attending the call will tell you a reference number and ask you to deposit TB test fee in the designated bank; he'll also tell you the address of (and time for your appointment with) the Karachi office of IOM. Usually the time given is day after the following day. For your appointment at IOM, you will also be told to carry the following with you (a) your original passport, (b) a copy of your passport, (c) two passport sized photographs (d) and bank deposit slips

Step 2: Deposit Test Fee
Go to Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) Gulshan-e-Iqbal branch. It's located on University Road, almost opposite to Masjid Bait-ul-Mukaram. They have special deposit slips for IOM. The fee is Rs. 3500/- (again as of now). You'll need to write down your passport number on the deposit slip---so keep that handy once again.
