Those who have been in a country at risk of tuberculosis within the last six months must apply for the BN(O) route with a valid TB test certificate. This includes those who have come to the UK via Leave Outside the Rules at the border.

My officials are working with clinics across Northern Ireland in order to to approve one as soon as possible.
