2. Can they have an x-ray when pregnant?
The X-ray department does not recommend that a pregnant visa applicant undergoes a chest x-ray. This is because there is a risk that a chest x-ray could harm the unborn child.
It is recommended that a pregnant visa applicant defers her chest x-ray, and therefore the decision on her visa application, until after the child’s birth.
A pregnant visa applicant should firstly contact the department to discuss her options, including the possible deferral of her visa application. Tel 0207 935 1918
If you decide to defer the chest x-ray until after the child’s birth A pregnant visa applicant should advise the department if she decides to defer her chest x-ray until after the child’s birth.
If you are prepared to undergo a chest x-ray while pregnant
If a pregnant visa applicant is prepared to undergo a chest x-ray, it is recommended that she consults with her doctor before arranging her appointment for a chest x-ray and that
special precautions are taken (eg. using a protective lead shield and waiting until at least the second trimester). A pregnant visa applicant must sign the declaration on page 4 before
undergoing a chest x-ray.
Undergoing a chest x-ray does not guarantee the grant of a visa. The result of the chest x-ray must be found to be normal. Where a chest x-ray shows abnormalities, the visa applicant may be asked to undergo more specific tests and a course of treatment.

The test gives a result in 15 minutes that covers all exposure to the virus up to 3 months prior. If the test is negative at any time it does not reflect any exposure in the preceding 3 months and we recommend a re-test in 3 months time.
