Comprehensive Sickness Insurance – Residency and Visas
Comprehensive Sickness Insurance is the Home Office term used for Private Medical Insurance (PMI). If you are a non-UK citizen, it protects you should you fall sick, and satisfies the Home Office requirements in relation to residency for EU nationals.
Why Would I Need Comprehensive Sickness Insurance?
- You’re an EU citizen living in the UK, are classed by the Home Office as self-sufficient and looking for UK residency.
- You’re married to a UK citizen and you need to protect your right to stay in the UK.
- You’re an international student who has a place at a UK university.
Home Office Requirement
The Home Office may refuse your right to stay in the UK without Comprehensive Sickness Insurance, even if you are an EU citizen – don’t take the risk.
What if I have a European Health Card (EHIC)?
A European Health Card (EHIC) is only allowed if you don’t plan to stay in the UK permanently – you will need to declare this.
- Are you sure your country of birth has the right agreement in place with the UK?
- Wouldn’t you prefer the option to stay in the UK should a good opportunity arise?
- Would you like security knowing that if you fall sick, you can access medical treatment without any problems?
