How can I extend my stay as a visitor to receive private medical treatment?
This page explains what you need to do to extend your stay as a visitor to receive private medical treatment.
You can apply to extend your stay by post or in person at one of our public enquiry offices. You should apply before the date your permission to stay ends.
You should complete application form FLR(O), which you can download from the right side of this page. You should read the guidance notes before completing the form. You will need to send the following papers with your application:
- your passport;
- a letter from a general practitioner who is a consultant for the NHS or who is on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council, confirming that satisfactory arrangements for private medical treatment have been made, how long the treatment will last and, if your treatment has already started, how it is progressing;
- evidence that you have paid for your treatment; and
- evidence that you have enough money to support yourself and to pay for further treatment (such as your bank statements or savings account book).
