I have TIER 1 VISA and planning to go on 30th December 2010.

Can you please suggest me which documents I need to carry.

1. Do I need any type of health insurance and policy ?
2. May I need to carry reports for any diseases like TB.

I am carrying my passport with VISA,1 week hotel accommodation receipt, Forex card .

Please let me know if I missed anything.

You dont need any insurance as far as immigration is concerned, but it is advisable to have a private insurance for 1-2 months, till you settle down and register with NHS.

You definately need an Xray of the chest and a report from a doctor that you dont have TB (based on the xray).

It is best to carry all th e documents you submitted for your visa, though chances of this being asked is very less.

good luck

Just flew in yesterday - wasnt asked any documents - was just asked where we work, for which we said we dont have a job offer but have interviews lined up. We were asked to go through health control, we didnt have chest Xrays and werent asked for it either.
Just be confident and you will be fine - good luck!
