Originally posted by vetran View PostI would expect it to be part of the Visa Application. The Insurance would need to remain live throughout your stay otherwise your Visa becomes invalid.
So no change at passport control.

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostUS citizens don't need visas to come here. So it's step 1: Drop the visa free agreements and insist everyone who comes to the UK has to have a visa no matter where they come from. Hire hundreds of thousands more civil servants to implement it all. Step 2: Make health insurance checking part of the visa application process; hire hundreds of thousands more civil servants to deal with the backlog of visa applications caused by the extra checks. Step 3: wonder why tourist numbers in the UK have dropped dramatically.

Alternatively you can just add it to the Visa Waiver and/or electronic Visa program. No XYZ standard travel insurance = no Visa. May cost a few million but it would mean we are covered against health tourism from those countries and we can profit from visitors who require treatment.

If tourism numbers drop because people don't want to secure travel insurance, are you sure you want such tourists?Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

You can easily take out insurance that doesn't cover your illnesses and lie to officials. People with dementia often aren't good in admitting there is something wrong with them."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

This sort of thing is currently in vogue amongst Americans.
More worryingly, they have dumped a demented coffin-dodger in the Whitehouse too!!“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

If when they try to charge the Insurance they refuse then they are in breach of their visa conditions.
The Insurance should cover all illnesses and if it doesn't then its not suitable to get a visa.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
