They’ll have to invent another excuse not to come to see you! ????

My friend arrived yesterday using only standard U.K. travel insurance cover. You wasted your money anyway ! ????

No,some are really quite cunning and calculating and have got away with it for decades.

I have to say on balance that is true. I’ve seen a few young ladies who I think look quite cute but on removal of the mask deliver less than promised,in one extreme case looked the Joker in Batman !

If you have continuously been registered with a GP using a U.K. address then should be no problem,but say you’ve been out of U.K. and not registered for many years red flags might occur. A hospital visit will entail them wanting to know who your GP is. There is also 'connectivity' whereby government departments share information. So say you renewed your U.K. passport in Thailand or tax authorities / DWP (pension) have you living in Thailand then you could get found out.

Not quite up to date. If you return to permanent residence (not just on a visit home) your NHS cover is effective immediately. Nor do I think the '9 months ' is correct

I’m on holiday in Phuket (from Pak Chong ) and it’s 6 months since my 2nd Pfizer vaccination (I’m 69) . Is there anywhere I can get a walk in type booster while here ,or any other alternatives? I have all my documentation/passport.
