Hi All

I am applying visitor visa to UK for my dad. While filling the application it is asking for have you previously had any medical treatment in the UK? Actually, last time when my dad came to the UK we have visited GP out of hours/minor injuries department. The doctor prescribed some medicine and told my dad don't need any further test. We didn't pay for medicine as we stay in Scotland (prescription is free for us). Could anyone please clarify that I am going to put we have been to GP for a visit and also the UKBA website says GP visit is free for the visitor. Is that ok? Please help

Thanks in advance

Best is to write an e-mail to this effect to NHS and seek their reply....if they say Yes then pay and take a copy of receipt. In either case attach a copy of this e-mail communicationwith your dads visa application.

This is what I did for my in law's application but I was sure that I had to pay for medicines/treatment and I attached copy of payment receipt with her subsequent application which was approved without any complications..

Hope it helps

Hi

Thanks for your reply and help.

I've looked for NHS email. I couldn't find any. Could you please provide any information regarding NHS email?
