Entry clearance only mandatory for visa nationals seeking to enter the UK to take the PLAB test

Although all the requirements of paragraph 75a must be met, the main points on which the ECO needs to be satisfied are that the applicant:

• is a graduate from a bona fide medical school and intends to sit the PLAB Test; and

• can provide documentary proof of a confirmed test date or of his eligibility to apply to sit the test; and

• meets the relevant Rules relating to visitors (paragraph 41) including:

• they will be able to maintain and accommodate himself and any dependants adequately without recourse to public funds; and
• they will not take employment during their leave under this category (as above, clinical attachments do not count as employment for these purposes).
