The way to get your parents to come to live in the UK permanently would be the Adult Dependent Relative route but the eligibility conditions are so onerous as to make this route virtually impossible in most cases:
A long term visitor visa would still mean that they can only come to the UK for 6 months at a time. Whether they can get a visitor visa depends on their circumstances. The HO want to ensure that visitors have strong ties to their home country so that they are unlikely not to return.
Life in general isn't fair. The NHS is at breaking point, bringing in Old folks here would only help bend it further. This is the view of the government.aeun-flux wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 10:55 pmAah so it means that there's no legal way to do perform duties of a Son. It's so unfortunate !!
I understand as well too, that over the years the system may have been abused. And it still feels like a kick in the teeth.
I also know that had I been in a more wealthier situation probably I would not have posted in this forum...
Anyway, its so unfair and unjust for people who really need the help...
No. You will need to buy private insurance that covers all their medical problems and then claim the money back that you paid to the NHS for their treatment.
https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/visitin ... -area-eea/Unplanned treatment on a temporary visit to England
If you're visiting England from outside the European Economic Area (EEA), even if you're a former UK resident, you'll be charged for NHS secondary care at 150% of the standard NHS rate, unless an exemption from the charge category applies to either you or the treatment.
Make sure you're covered for healthcare through personal medical or travel insurance for all of your visit.
You'll need to pay the full estimated cost in advance, unless this would prevent or delay treatment that a clinician determines is urgent. If so, you can pay afterwards.
Future immigration applications may be denied if you are subject to immigration control and do not pay for NHS treatment when a charge applies. Debts for NHS treatment of £500 or more, that have been unpaid for at least 2 months, will be reported to the Home Office.
Some NHS services or treatments are exempt from charges so that they're free to all (although prescription, dentistry and other charges may still apply).
These include:

If you live in England, they cannot waive any charges and must bill.

Wishing him good health day by day.aeun-flux wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 8:02 pmI sincerely Thank you all for all the advise.
I was able to see my Father and he seems to be in much better spirit and health.
Although having a stroke increases the chances of a future one, but he is continuing his recommended diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
He tends to forget things a bit, but that's understandable as having diabetes for 20 odd years brings Dementia and having had the stroke, I believe it just aggravated it.. but still he is very conscious.
Thanks you again.
Kind regards,
