    Hi everyone!

    I am applying for permanent residence I am a non-european but my husband is. Does he has to have this comprehensive sickness insurance document? what if he does not have it, I wouldn't get the residence?

    I read it is a NHS card, is it difficult to get one?


    I'm a bit afraid this will affect my application ...


    Thanks!

    In what category has been your husband exercising his treaty rights ? working ? studying ? self-sufficiency ? that will determine if you need it or not.

    Hi yousafzai,

    i am a french national and my partner is non eea citizen. Hopefully he'll be granted an eeafp but then we'll ask for rc (via eea2). I am a bit lost about this cmprehensive sickness insurance thing. I am coming to the uk to exercise my treaty rights as a worker. What wil my partner need insurance wise?

    Thanks for your help :)

    Hello,

    i am having kind of the same problem. I have been exercising the treaty right for the last 5 year and now i am intending to apply for the permanent residence. However, i never had the comprehensive sickness insure or registered to a gp. Is it fine if i do things now and then apply?

    Thanks...

    Hi guys,
    I don't know if it's relevant anymore, but get any insurance that resembles what they ask for (Aviva or something like that will do). They just need to tick the box under medical insurance, that's all.

    Hi Daniel
    As per my knowledge, you will be required to submit the medical insurance form for confirming your citizenship. Though I don’t have much knowledge about the same, however, it is required to fill in the requirement which says medical insurance mandatory. In case you are still not sure about the medical Insurance requirements, you may ask them the same and they would guide you accordingly.

    Hi,

    From what I've read so far one doesn't necessarily need a private health insurance. It is stated that comprehensive medical insurance is "Insurance that will pay for any medical treatment required in the UK by someone who is not entitled to the treatment from NHS..."
    so I guess if a person has lived lawfully in UK for 5 years, he becomes entitled to the NHS cover. ( http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Healthcare/Enti ... /DH_074374) . But probably I am wrong.
