    So if hopefully my Girl gets a visitor visa to come to the UK does anyone know off any good short to long term insurances to cover health costs while she is in the UK ?

    Hi @DJB! Check this link out -http://www.malayanonline.com/products/travelmaster/travelmasterglobal. I think it was Micawber who suggested it in another thread that I read. It is valid for 90 days which I think is generous considering others would only offer it for a month. I am planning on getting it too once I have my visa.

    Yep, it's called the NHS! I believe Visitors can still receive emergency treatment at no cost.

    I'm adding this for clarity :-

    The following services are free at the point of use for all patients. A charge cannot be made or recovered from any overseas visitor for:

    • accident and emergency (A&E) services, this includes all A&E services provided at an NHS hospital, e.g. those provided at an accident & emergency department, walk-in centre or urgent healthcare centre. This does not include those emergency services provided after the overseas visitor has been accepted as an inpatient, or at a follow-up outpatient appointment, for which charges must be levied unless the overseas visitor is exempt from charge in their own right;

    • services provided outside an NHS hospital, unless the staff providing the services are employed by, or working under the direction of, an NHS hospital;

    • family planning services (does not include termination of pregnancy); • diagnosis and treatment of specified infectious diseases (listed at Chapter 4);

    • diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections;

    • treatment required for a physical or mental condition caused by: – torture; – female genital mutilation; – domestic violence; or – sexual violence, except where the overseas visitor has travelled to the UK for the purpose of seeking that treatment.

    I've highlighted what may be an important part of the rules

    You could probably register her at a doctor surgery while she's here.

    When my wife was here on a fiance visa we registered and they just asked if she was my partner. I said she was and that was it.
