yeap .. i second the 2nd option ... but i think can appeal, use the included form in the envelope and appeal asap ... if u make a new application u will need to ask ur uni for a new CAS then only apply again and this might take up to a week's time ...

Go to your local GP and tell them you want a full body check-up including an X-Ray report. Also, tell them you're going to use it overseas. They'll know what to do.

i thought someone said earlier, there is no need for a medical in student visa application?.........

Oh thanks, I thought 2nd of Sept is included as well. Alright then cause I am from Penang and my Uni actually starts on Monday and I am late now , so I have my flight booked on Monday night , so will have to rush to KL in the morning and hopefully they will update the status in the morning.

Yeah I tot 2nd is included , and I think they are open on the 16th.

limeuu, the medical report is not used in the student visa application. Instead, when the university clinic wants the medical report you know you have it with you rather than spending that unnecessary sum of money.

Need,the kastam in Uk will randomly choose some of the ppl, if the person don have the medical check up,it will require to do the check up thr which is expensive and a lot of ppl, so is better to do here first.

check back a few pages, someone confirmed that BHC is closed on 16th, it is announced as National Public Holiday. There is no where any High Com would not follow and respect the holiday, furthermore as stated in the news, the day brings high respects to our east countrymen...

yeap and also give urself an up-to-date medical status for ur future health planning ..

so it's immigration (or what they call border control) (not customs lah!), or the uni student health that wants it?........

and what is it precisely that they want?.........it's no point saying they want a medical without specifying what exactly.......contrary to popular belief, you cannot have a 'full medical checkup'.........there is no end to tests that can potentially be done to detect illness........you have to be clear WHICH set of illness you are looking for.....

Oppss, my bad......so far i only did 4 test,HiV,hepetites b,morphine and (forget liao), plus a x-ray.

to those waiting for their entrance entry clearance (VISA) .. reading THIS and all u can do is wait patiently ...

immigration control mostly wans ur xray scan and maybe ur blood test ... the popular belief that u mention about the 'full medical checkup' are the general blood test report, first of all, have u checked with ur nearby hospital? before asking the above? ... most hospitals have a wellness centre which provide different packages on different medical test/checkup ...
if u consult a clinic, they will ask for a form from ur university which states what test/checkup are required, but M'sia is not in the list of medical checkup from UK education institutes so u wont be able to get the form...

ask mr google wat a general blood test consist of ... different hospitals have different packages so it varies but the search should roughly give u an idea ..

Oh I see. Anyway not sure about that cause one my of my friend went there on that day to ask about his visa status and their website did not mention anything abt BHC will remain closed on that day.

i am fully aware of these popular 'check ups' people are so fond of............but you failed to understand my point.........

it is pointless and a waste of money to do excessive tests 'just in case' the uk border agency wants some of them.....

i am asking what precisely does the border agency and/or the uni student health services want......

it looks like only the chest xray may be needed, on a random basis at immigration control......

i am not aware on any uni having any health requirements, except for health science courses (medicine/dentistry/nursing), these will normally be clearly communicated to intending students......it would be illegal (in the uk) in any other situation for the uni to ask for your hiv status......

ok, will try that.. thanks for your reply

1st, i did mention that UK institution does not require malaysians to do a medical checkup.
2nd, no one knows wat the border control wants in the medical checkup .. i have searched online, different ppl get checked on different stuff ... if it is stated, everyone will know here rather than take precautions and performing a checkup beforehand.
3rd, not sure r u refering to my post on HiV, but it is just a package checkup provided by the hospital.
4th, xray may be needed and may not be .. it is best bang to get since it just a film and straight flashing it would just get everything right ...

I am taking cambridge A levels and currently facing a dilemma. My AS trial sucks due to my laziness and always slacking around. (2E for my sciences sub)

I wanna apply dentistry to UK thru UCAS and the dateline for it is coming soon.(next week)

Just wanna ask,
the university will offer me conditional offer based on my forecast result(semester,trial exam, etc..), then only look for my real Alevels result.
Since my trial and semester result are sucks, is it possible that the university look for my real result instead of the forecast?! *I pretty sure i will do very well in my actual exam.

**i am thinking of, if the university give me offer based on forecast, I DONT THINK I will get it.
Will the university give me offer based on my actual A levels exam(very good result) without border the suck-ish forecast?!
and I dont wanna waste my RM500 to take UKCAT, if they put forecast in the first place.

dilemma dilemma.

the chance of getting dentistry through ucas is almost zero at this point......

its because of my forecast?!

yes, a chest x-ray (to screen for TB) and a blood test report (for any blood transmitted illnesses). And it is not random, those with a new visa will have to go through this on arrival.

Hmmmn I just had a friend who went over to a couple of days ago and he did not do any blood/urine test... and was not required to do it at borfer control either... and yes its a new visa it's his first time in UK... so it's not HAVE TO... in fact he didn't use his xray either...

yeah! a couple of my friends too~ new visa and first time going to UK and the reports are not required by the ppl there. They did do the x-ray but in the end it was not required. So i really thinks it really depends on chance.
