You will need to purchase Travel Insurance with Health Coverage for one year (please read my previous links)

For the D7 appointment at the London Embassy in Oct 2021 I showed proof of comprehensive 1 year travel insurance which includes medical cover. This was acceptable.

This policy is still active and does not expire until next year

I have my appointment with SEF in June .

JohnnyPT - I plan to register with SNS at some point soon after my SEF appointment, but do you think the travel insurance / medical policy is adequate for this appointment ? I have read in various places that dedicated private medical insurance is required, which is聽 different to travel insurance with medical.

What do you think ?

Hi Neale,

Once your D7 visa has been approved, you can register with the National Health System. You can also have a private health insurance, which can be useful for specialised appointments. For standard general medical appointments, or emergency services, the NHS works reasonably well.

S1 is one of the requirements for access to the NHS.

I have been advised that I can have an S1 issued in the UK or Malta for Portugal. I have the choice as I am a British subject and have Maltese Residency.聽 I take a pension from both countries.
