Advice and guidance for healthcare practitioners on the health needs of migrant patients.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-migrant-health-guide

No charges for coronavirus (COVID-19) testing, treatment and vaccination

Overseas visitors to England, including anyone living in the UK without permission, will not be charged for:

  • testing for COVID-19 (even if the test shows they do not have COVID-19)
  • treatment for COVID-19, including for a related problem called multisystem inflammatory syndrome that affects some children
  • vaccination against COVID-19

No immigration checks are needed for overseas visitors if they are only tested, treated or vaccinated for COVID-19.

Testing and vaccine status of seasonal workers (those exempt from quarantine)

  • Must have a negative test within 3-days of departure for England
  • Must take tests by days 2, 5, and 8 after arriving
  • LFD tests can be accessed from:
  • Workplace testing
  • Ordering tests to be sent to the worker
  • NHS test and trace sites
  • Community testing sites (subject to local availability)
  • Tests can be at ‘home’ and self-reported or under supervision
  • Everyone in England is entitled to register with a GP. Whilst an individual’s NHS number might be used for administration purposes, having an NHS number is not a pre-requisite to be offered the coronavirus vaccine.
  • If individuals are registered with a GP, then their GP will contact them in due course. Practices should not turn people away because they do not have proof of ID, address, or immigration status.
