Medical requirements

Vaccinations and health checks

We recommend that you're vaccinated against tuberculosis, tetanus, polio, diphtheria, meningitis C and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).

Medical insurance

If you're coming to the UK for more than six months, you'll need to pay an Immigration Health Surcharge in order to access National Health Service (NHS) treatment.
