Visit visa and medical visit visa

Post by Alpha_kanwar » Tue Sep 12, 2023 10:06 pm

"I need some advice. I'm in the process of applying for a visit visa for both my mother and my sister. My sister requires medical treatment in the UK and is dependent on my mother ( financially and on daily life )Should I apply for a standard visit visa for my mother or a medical visit visa? Thank you."

You may find the guidance for UKVI Case Workers regarding visitors seeking private medical care.
The guidance includes the following points which will be considered:

"A visitor wishing to come to the UK for private medical treatment may not be able to present specific documentary evidence for the proposed treatment. But they must provide a letter from their doctor or consultant in the UK detailing:
- their medical condition requiring consultation or treatment
- costs likely to be incurred
- the likely duration of any treatment (which must be finite)
- where the consultation or treatment will take place

A visitor coming to the UK for private medical treatment will also need to be able to show they have sufficient funds to cover all reasonable costs in relation to their visit and treatment.
"

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

The answer is in the question. She can't apply for what she doesn't need or can't evidence. That leaves you with visit.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
