Hi everybody i just arrived in UKlast Thursday the flight was very long and tiring
, when we arrived at the airport at London Heathrow the queu wasnt bad to have my passport entry check by the immigration officer.
After which the officer ask me to go to the Health Control office to have my medical examination done since i dont have my xray or any medical records with me they ask me to have my xray done and have my result right away. Good thing we arrived early at 5 cause it gets really busy after.
My question is i want to know how could i apply for NHS?
Is there any requirement? what are those and how long do i need to be in UK before i get a National Health Insurance?
Help Please?
If you still remember, NHS staffs at Heathrow asked your address b4 you undergo x-ray. In few days, you will receive a letter from them telling you to register at local NHS etc. Then you'll be asked about your health history at your local NHS. You can also register without waiting that letter.
You can also use that NHS letter in applying NI number as proof of address
