T4 visa，因疫情離開英國超過6個月，再入境前需要再做一次TB test 嗎？

其實你說的也是，三項條件都是under在 Tb tests for visa applicants , 如果已有visa or BRP 去入境, 是否受限？就好似沒有特別說明。

明白，謝謝

跟據官網，學生就不算是returning residents了。但想清楚還是思路錯了。這三個條件是指申請英國學生簽證要不要做TB的。是申請新的學生簽證才會遇到的問題。
現在要解決的是那些已經有Visa在手的學生，其實當初因為轉課程轉學校申請visa的時候，如果之前一直留在英國讀書，每次返黎又不多於2個月，就已經割免TB 了。現在再因為網課冇返英國超過半年以上，再過關時，還會查你有冇TB證書在手嗎？例如我兒子，在英國讀咁多年書就只做過一次TB test（申請Y9), 所以TB證書就只有6年前的。網上說TB有效期限半年，但有人試過過關要查TB 證書嗎？如果證書過期又點呢？兒子每次入境是經ePassport gates入境的，根本冇人會問佢嘢，scan 完就過關，佢連過左期嘅TB證書都冇帶。

上面個web，寫得好清楚，理論上要。
但實制上入境應該問題不大。

再睇下Study Links點寫

我個女上年9月到英國請first year, 已拿BRP(3年期), 由於在那邊全轉了online 上堂，11月已港remote learning，今年9月打算回去上second year。由於多過6個月離開UK, 這樣是否要再做TB test ?

睇官網最正確,大家研究下

有Returning residents定義:

Returning residents
This page provides decision-makers with information about who is considered a returning resident under the Immigration Rules.

When a person holds indefinite leave to enter or remain and they leave the UK, on their return, they must either meet the requirements in paragraph 18 or paragraph 19 of the Rules. This will depend on the amount of time spent outside the UK.

Less than 2 years’ absence
A person who has been absent from the UK for less than 2 years will retain their indefinite leave and does not need to apply for entry clearance before resuming their residence in the UK. Border force officers will assess whether a person can be admitted for entry under the requirements of paragraph 18.

More than 2 years’ absence
A person who has been absent from the UK for more than 2 consecutive years, will automatically lose their indefinite leave as a matter of law. This is set out in paragraph 20 of the Immigration Rules and in Article 13 of the Immigration (Leave to Enter and Remain) Order 2000 (LTERO).

The exception to this was Commonwealth citizens settled in the UK when the 1971 Immigration Act came into force on 1 January 1973. Under section 1(5), they were protected from losing their indefinite leave from absences outside the UK until 1 August 1988 when section 1(5) was repealed. After this date, any indefinite leave would be lost following an absence of 2 years or more.
A person who has been absent for more than 2 years must apply for entry clearance as a returning resident and will be assessed by Entry Clearance Officers under paragraph 19 of the Rules.
There are some exceptions which prevent a person’s leave from lapsing. Further provisions were made to the LTERO to ensure that any period spent outside the UK will not count towards the calculation of the 2 year period for the following people:
• Article 13A - partner or child accompanying a member of HM Forces overseas
• Article 13B - partner or child accompanying a permanent member of the
British Council, Department for International Development, Home Office, or Foreign and Commonwealth Office overseas
This is set out in paragraph 19A of the Immigration Rules.

再睇下Study Links點寫
If you are currently studying in the UK, but need to move schools part way through the school year, you do not need to be tested again if you have not been away from the UK for more than six months.

而且student BRP 是有時限，without time limit 是否說permanent?

Returning Residents

According to the Website of UKvisas, "[a] returning resident is someone who has been given permission to live in the United Kingdom (UK), with no time limit and having left the UK wants to come to live here again" (7 Sept. 2004). [找不到所說UKvisas web site]

//第三點

是英國要求其餘的國家，要入英國，睇下自己國籍，是否在要做TB test的list上，所以第三點指的國家是除英國以外的

//第三點
//*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

//In a country 這不是説英國，是指豁免做T B Test的國家，例如澳洲，德國 etc 但有要求，就是不離開這些國家超過6個月，便不用做TB

In a country 是指豁免做T B Test的國家(包括英國).

https://www.gov.uk/tb-test-visa

網站上有寫：

Tuberculosis tests for visa applicants

You’ll need to have a tuberculosis (TB) test if you’re coming to the UK for more than 6 months and are resident in any of these listed countries.

You’ll be given a chest x-ray to test for TB. If the result of the x-ray is not clear you may also be asked to give a sputum sample (phlegm coughed up from your lungs).

If your test shows that you do not have TB, you’ll be given a certificate which is valid for 6 months from the date of your x-ray. Include this certificate with your UK visa application.

看回網站原文，listed countries是有香港的，所以是要做TB test的。但這是針對申請英國visa要去英國多過6個月

之後網站上寫

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

因為有一些國家是不用做TB test的，所以第三點是計對豁免list上的國家而寫

第三點
*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

In a country 這不是説英國，是指豁免做T B Test的國家，例如澳洲，德國 etc 但有要求，就是不離開這些國家超過6個月，便不用做TB

所以如果有BRP, 之前在英國讀書，離開不超過2年，乎合免做TB test的第二點：
*you’re a returning UK resident and have not been away for more than 2 years.

如果仔女離開多過半年，我都會叫佢照多次，穩陣起見。到時突然入唔到境就企左係度。

第二點

上年因為疫情停課，好多學生留港超過半年都拿住BRP順利入境英國，所以監護人話不用照T B

第二點
香港學生用student visa留英, 應該不是返國英國居民(returning  UK resident), 所以離開英國多過6個月, 就要TB test.

第三點
留英學生在英國多過6個月, 離開英國少過6個月, 不用TB test.

另外我奇怪很多post也說「不離開英國6個月」，這以訛傳訛的所謂6個月期限是誰説的，在英國官網找不到！
