Hello, I sent my FLR application back in September this year, i'm under fiancee visa here in the UK, the UKBA still has my passport and documents.

My question is if I need medical attention where should i go?

can i register with the NHS?

or do i have to pay a doctor in any emergency?

Thanks for any advise.

Emergencies are attended at the A&E of your nearest hospital.

Yes i know but is it free for me?

or do i have to pay?

what if i just want a check up?

can i register with NHS?

Some health services are free of charge to everyone. These are:

• treatment given in an accident and emergency (A&E) department or in an NHS walk-in centre that provides services similar to those of an A&E department;

I am sorry, but that's not the full story.

As you are on a fiancée visa you can register with a doctor and use the NHS. This is an exception to the usual 6 month visa rule that applies to visitors.

I call my nearest GP, they said i need to pay £65 because in my case it would be a private consultation, pfftt i guess i need to print them some UKBA stuff to prove them wrong then :S

Contact your local Primary Health Care Trust for help.
