Medical Visit Visa — Manchester Immigration Advisers

Visiting the UK for Private Medical Treatment

A medical visit is made on a Standard Visitor visa. It allows you to come to the UK for private medical treatment at a hospital or other medical facility, or to act as an organ donor.

These applications depend on clear medical and financial evidence. IAUK works with you and the treating clinic to prepare an application that covers the treatment, its cost and its duration.
