After you have arrived in the Netherlands, you might need to undergo a medical test for tuberculosis (TB). If you have the nationality of one of the countries on this list, you do not have to undergo a TB test. Otherwise, you need to take the test within three months after the residence permit has been granted.

<aside> 💡 Waiting for more than three months to undergo the TB test may cause your residence permit to be withdrawn.

</aside>

If you were referred by Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) to undergo the TB test, first, you need to make an appointment with GGD of Amsterdam (Municipal Health Service).

You can fill in the Registration Form, then the GGD will notify you about your appointment by the post. You can also call their TB department for the appointment on (020) 555 5240.

Apart from your passport or ID card please take TB test referral form with you to the appointment. The GGD will fill in this form and send it to the IND.

For more information, please read General Conditions on IND website.
