I have a question relating to long term visit visa. I know of someone who has been coming to the uk previously for medical reasons on a medical visa. There after they apploes for a 2 year visit visa AND WERE granted this now they are looking to apply again but for a 5 year visit with the intentiona of medical purpose. Can they do this wereas when they applied for 2 years they stated they will not be having medical treatment in the UK. Also there intentions are to reside in the UK permenantly. Can this be stopped by reporting to the UKBA?

They will be unable to access NHS treatment on a Standard visitor visa. The NHS checks are far more stringent than they were in the past and treatment is charged @ 150%. Regarding the intention to overstay, it's up to your conscience whether you decide to report this or not.

Thanks for the reply. Previously they were getting private medical treatment and when they applied for 2 year visa on letter they confirmed no medical treatment will be needed in the uk yet they were still coming for medical at a Private hospital on a family visit visa. Also they are looking to apply soon and i have reported this on the website you provided few months ago. giving full details of applicants and reasons why they will be coming to uk. Will this be sufficient or do I need to report them sumwere else to? As both applicants are of bad character and malicious.

There's nothing more you can do. The HO will decide whether to taken any action or not.

We can't answer that as we don't work for HO/UKVI. It is possible that the information is on the system and will be checked but no one will know until they apply and get the outcome.
There is nothing more you can do.

A visitor can spend no longer in the UK in a 12 month rolling period than they are spending in their home country. When a visa expires they can apply for another and will have to meet the same conditions again.

As CR001 has already advised, it's up to the HO whether they take action or not.

As I have said, all you can do is inform HO. Whether you want them here or not is irrelevant. If they get a visa, then so be it. Nothing you can do.
They cannot get permanent residence here based on the circumstances you have described.

Yes i understand this but my point is they are coming here to reside permanently but nit going back at all. Also if they are coming to stay with us and if i dont want them can anything be done as they are malicious people with incorrect intentions of coming here. Surely a british citizen has more rights then a non uk resident.

If you have provided a letter supporting accommodation, HO might phone you, they might not?
No one is forcing you to accommodate them surely?
What relation are they to you?
If they choose to abscond and overstay their visas, why is this your problem?

Then don't allow them to stay with you! Simple. We're going around in circles here. You don't have the ability or the right to decide who is issued with a visa, only the Home Office can do this. If you have notified the authorities of your concerns, that's all you can do and nothing more.
Edit: CR001 slipped in before me

thanks, there are many reasons why i wouldn' t want them to stay with us. I guess you wouldnt want people like that to stay with you if they have threatend to have your children taken off you who are there grand kids. If they are not allowed they cant do this. i guess if i have reported them then HO may tke action
