Hi All,

I am having t1 visa , which is valid from sept 2nd and I am planning to leave in sept 1 week. But I am carrying now and will be 29 weeks pregnanct at the time of travle.
Can i register for NHS services once i reach London, or i need to pay for my delivery? If NHS is eligible then how long will it take to register there.

Sorry if posted in wrong section.

Yes, you will be eligible to use NHS. Register with a General Practitioner near your residence as soon as you arrive in UK.

You will be able to register with NHS and get the normal primary medical care (GP) free of charge. But, you might be charged for your delivery hospital expenses if you do not have a job. Read para 4.27 in the below link. http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/gro ... 113267.pdf

And also check with your doctor if you are safe to travel by air. Also check with airliner. Most of the airliners will need a certificate from doctor that you are safe to travel after entering the 28th week of pregnancy.

Thanks for such a quick response. But I have one more doubt. My husband is on T1 dependent Visa, So if he is having a job then can i get delivery service or I still need to have a JOb.

I think it is fine if one of you have job. But please check with NHS.
