We may be relocation to London for at least a year, if DH gets a job offer/takes it. Seems like they want him though next month.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any info on if vaccinations/immunizations are required to get a visa for the UK??

Thanks for any info!

[*Tracy*]

Hey Linds, nice to see you here. It would be fab if you moved!! Hope your all doing ok. Im not sure if Zane will need any jabs for a visa or not but I will have a look on the internet for you to see if I can find anything out.

Edited: I've had a look and cant find anything. I wouldnt think he would need any but i might be wrong.

Gut feeling tells me no as well, bt not 100% sure!

[~.Sally.~]

I would think that you shouldn't need anything to come to the UK.

[LindsLuvsSi]

Thanks Ladies!!! I didn't think so but just thought I'd ask the UK mummies!

If we do Clare we would so have to get together!!!

Nope, you shouldn't need any vaccinations to come to the UK.

I didn't think you need any to come here either

[♥Lisa♥]

Never heard of anyone having to get any so gut feeling says no. You guys have more vaccinations out than we do so gut feeling sasy if you have already been vaccinated you should be ok. kwim?

Thanks everyone. It's ridiculous the difference of our vs. your vaccinations and schedule. Crazy! We are non vaxing our DS, hence why I asked!

[*Pamela*]

Hey there, can't believe you're moving here!!! You don't need any vax for Zane. I need to come back over to Christian parenting.

Are you excited about coming over? I have to admit, I love the history here. We've been here for 3 years now, it goes by so quickly.

Is his job sorting yours and Zane's visas out too?

I wanted to let you know to check for playgroups in your village, they're usually once a week and cost about a pound. It's a great way to get out and meet other mums.

I'm really bad at lurking on UK Mums, sorry ladies, I need to introduce myself at some point.

[LindsLuvsSi]

THanks Pamela! I appreciate it! I will def. check that out!
Yes his job is sorting out the visas thankfully. Wow I cna't believe you've been there for 3 years. So Gabriella was born there? that's cool! we're hoping to have another there!

[*Pamela*]

I can't believe we have been here for 3 years either. Gabriella was born here and we had a great day out in London to go to the Embassy to register her birth and get her American passport...so she has dual citizenship

My oldest son and I qualify for our British Citizenship in March and I'm excited but nervous. The applications are legnthy and pricey and if you are denied, no refunds.

I don't know how the health care works for a working visa, is his company providing private heath care or will you all get NHS?

I have to say that out of all 3 birth and care experiences, Garbriella's was the best. I don't have one complaint about the care. It is very different here in that you only see a doctor if medically necessary and we don't get appointments as often as they do in the states. Took some getting used to but in the end was very pleased. I ended up with a c section after a failed attempt to turn her and again, the entire process was exceptional. My only complaint is the lack of well baby visits. After you are signed off from the midwives their care is turned over to the health visitors. She has had 2 baby appointments, one at 7 weeks and the other a group session at 10 months. That being said, you can call them at any time.

Each area will be different. I've heard complaints from some areas and then there are some counties that do things differently as well. I know in my county, they don't measure babies, but they do in others. Same with midwife apts, you may have more or less in your county than another county.

That's if you have NHS

I bet Zane would make a great big brother!

A really good board is UK Yankee - Expat Americans Living in the UK and Moving to the UK It's all Americans living in the UK. There are topics that cover just about everything and anything from American food here to the logistics of moving over here.
