non-uk resident filipina giving birth in uk(british husband)

[mrscougarjones]

hi i am new here. i am a filipina living in dubai w my british husband. we are curious if anyone had any experience in giving birth in uk in NHS or other government hospital and wasnt charge because you are married to a british citizen?

looking forward to hear from you all who have idea or experience on this x

If your in Dubai, how will you come to the uk, Visitor visa or settlement visa?

If you come as a visitor you are not allowed to recieve NHS treatment.
If you come on a settlement visa there will be no problem giving birth in a NHS hospital.

thank you rusty. in our case we are both based in dubai. but we want the child born in uk to be automatic british citizen not only by decent. also would be nice to benefit from NHS.

so the only way is to apply for spouse visa as if settling in uk?

In principle you will need to prove 'settled status', yes
