Those coming to the UK

[LittleFingers]

Hello to the women coming to the UK!

I know how excited you are to come over UK for all sorts of reason, I am assuming that you are all coming over to be with your love/sweetheart and I can imagine how excited you all are.

Just some pointers for you to add on your list do/have before coming over. Of course it is not compulsary. You can do without it but just a thought.

1. Major dental work (have it done there, much cheaper).
2. Contact lenses/Glasses.
3. Driving Lessons (if you have time, much much cheaper there).
4. If Mama Sita is part of your cooking, bring it loads.
5. Open two accounts at BPI, one for you, one for your trusted one. Then enrol it online, so that you can send money online. It would be much cheaper that way. Once you are here, remit a big about to your BPi, then from this BPI account, send as much/many as you want without having to pay the fee everytime.
6. Enroll you credit card as well, so you can pay online.
7. Put all your documents in one place/folder and careful not to lose it.

Okay, that's it for now ... will update late. maybe others can add too.

Hello littlefingers! I am not totally sure fiancee visa status but I know that, any foreigner who comes over will be helped without question if under emergency. Are you coming on a fianee visit?

I'm not sure what kind of NHS treatment you wanted but as a fiancee holder IMO you can register easily. In my experience just after 3 days I arrived here in UK (as fiancee visa) and been registered quickly and got my NHS card after a week, and had my first visit to GP already btw it's a family planning concern and got free pills as well
As fiancee you can use this NHS card for your identification for marrying purpose and applying FLR

I think local practice varies. Daisy, on a fiance visa, tried to register with my surgery and they wouldnt register her: had to be on a visa lasting more than 6 months which they considered would be "permanent residency" Referred us to the local hospital GP service if we needed it and free emergency service at the hospital if necessary.

As discussed before the official advice reads ambiguously.

Family planning I believe is treated slightly differently.

Daisy's advice would be to bring sinigang mix, mangos and bagoong alamang.
