How to Pay Tuberculosis Test Fee in Nigeria

Your test must be from a clinic approved by the Home Office. Test certificate from any other clinic in Nigeria will not be accepted.

The fee for tuberculosis screening is 150 US Dollars (or its equivalent in Naira). The fee will be payable in local currency at the prevailing exchange rate advised by the IOM. You will pay the IOM directly for the cost of your tuberculosis test. The cost of the test is in addition to the visa application fee.


The test fee does not cover treatment if you have tuberculosis.
