Thanks guys !
I'm getting a conflicting response here though - do we know whether she ( being the precious little Irene ! ) is entitled to medical treatment in law, as my intended spouse - (god knows - I pay enuf tax n NI !) and if so, where could I find the appropriate legislation.
Oh - sorry if I appear kinda heavy about this, but I dont want to leave us belly up, if we have any problems.....
(She is the picture of health and vitality btw !!)
Happy Christmas to you all. And thank you all for being so helpful n friendly to Irene.
But it might be worth asking your local health authority (im not sure who you would ask though) just to be on the safe side.
I have done some reading on a few sites who advise people on imgration matters and a guy who i respect highly has noted if you are on a spouse visa which from what i gather includes a finace visa ( please correct me if im wrong folks) are entitled to full NHS care from the mintue they have a stamp in the airport.
But if on a vistors visa they are basically tourists and would need travel insurance and could possibly charged for any treatment other the intial emgency treatment ( and possibly even that).
So basically from what i have read tonight
Finace and spouse visa no particular need for health insurance treated the same as a uk resident.
Vistor visa Health Insurance make sure your insured unless your bill gates
I hope this info is of use, sorry was not to sure about finace visa as my Wife came over on spouse visa.
Lets hope all this chat says hypothetical and not required and May i wish Irene and You a Happy Christmas
