Dependant Visa NHS Coverage

[ArdentReader]

Hi All,

I have been reading quite a number of threads in this forum. However, I am new and would still like to ask a question based on current immigration laws.

My husband will be travelling to the UK (Reading) in July 2013 on Tier 2 (ICT) Visa (Long-term). I intend to join him (dependant visa) by September 2013. He will be covered by the NHS during his stay.

However, I am pregnant and expecting my delivery next year in January or February. I would like to know whether I will be eligible for NHS under these circumstances.

Thanks in advance!

Can someone register with GP on visit Visa here in UK.

Can visitor go to emergency and be treated free ?

If you are a visitor to the UK or have temporary permission to live here (known as 'limited leave to remain'), you may be able to register with a GP in your area and receive free treatment. The GP can decide whether or not to register you. You may not be able to receive the full range of hospital treatment, because you must be a permanent resident or have lived here for a year to qualify for it. This applies even if you are a British citizen or have lived or worked here in the past.

Hello,

I understand what you are passing throu when preparing budgets for such special event in your lifes guys. I'm in your same husband's position but expecting to be granted the Tier 4 visa(course of 12 months) tomorrow. My wife is expected to give birth, as dependant(to apply yet), when she joins me in UK sometime in May-2014.

Thanks to one of the replies of user D4109125 here, took me to another government website of NHS. If still needed specific information on your case, you can see http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSse ... vices.aspx for sections 'Exemption category: exempt from all NHS hospital treatment charges' and 'Prescription costs'. As summary, prescriptions would be the only charges, as any ordinary UK resident pays, if anyone is listed in that exemption list. Hope that may be of more you wanted to find and be help for more folks. It's taken me more than hours to finally got to this post of you guys. Thanks to your thread of emails.

Regards, Ernesto
