rawhod Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 http://www.vfs-be-uk...lyandfriend.pdf I Google'd C-visa and pulled up the attached pdf for Belgium visa requirements. My Thai Girlfriend and I are off to the UK tomorrow...we do not have any Overseas Medical Insurance for her. I have not seen any such requirement stipulated for entry into the UK. Anyone "quickly" know what the situation is with entry to the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawhod Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 is your thai gf travelling to the uk on a tourist visa? if so, she will need medical insurance. Yes... she is travelling on a Tourist Visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yes... she is travelling on a Tourist Visa It's not a legal requirement and not having cover will not prevent or delay her entering the UK, but if your girlfriend should be taken ill she would have to pay for any medical treatment. She could get free treatment in a NHS Hospital in the event of an emergency. I always use World Nomads, you can buy it online http://www.worldnomads.com/travel-insurance/ and if you use the code "WNJUN11" there is a 7% discount.

7by7 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 She could get free treatment in a NHS Hospital in the event of an emergency. Only initial emergency care in A&E. Any follow up treatment would be chargeable, as would any stay in hospital. Insurance is not compulsory, but it is highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
