Exactly. You have to intend to stay in the UK for at least 6 months to be eligible for free NHS treatment. Obviously with a 6 months visa that is not usually possible. The EEA family permit is an exception, but not everybody may be aware of that.VictoriaS wrote:The visa needs to be over six months UNLESS it is a category leading to settlement, such as fiancee visa or EEA dependent. You must insist, and if they still refuse say that you will be notifying the Primary Care Trust, who will tell them of their obligations.

So you can either argue your case, or you can send the application for a residence card (EEA2). With the certificate of application it should be obvious that you want to stay longer.
here, they want to see the passport and the visa on it first..mastermind wrote:My wife and I have registered with a GP recently (for the first time). She is an EEA and I'm non-EEA with a 6-month EEAFP (though it is not the first one, as we go back and forth frequently). We did not show our passports to them at all. Just gave them a council tax bill (it is in both our names) and a gas bill (also in both names) as proof of address. They only asked what country did we come from (which is a EU country) and whether we intend to stay in the UK permanently (yes).
The registration forms they asked us to fill in had questions like "what country do you come from?" (not "what is your nationality") and "is it a EU or EEA country?" and beside this question there was a statement saying something like "EEA family members should answer YES to this question"!
