homer911 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 We have received our PR and was wondering what we need to bring along to the medicare office for the transfer? Anyone done this recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croft Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 As you hold PR the UK reciprocal agreement has no bearing whatsoever. You get the benefits of medicare irrespective of nationality with PR. Where the reciprocal agreement comes into play is with temporary visa holders. For instance, there is no reciprocal agreement with Ireland so an Irish passport holder on a temporary work visa has no access to medicare, while a UK passport holder would.

Croft Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Also to add that having the medicare card helps with ID purposes until you can get you Driving License sorted out (that is the gold standard for ID purposes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Sorry, I assumed you were in the UK - are you transferring from another visa although looking at the form it does say applying for PR whilst in the country - there is a contact email on the form that you can use to ask them directly.
