Guest PlumNo1 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi there, I moved to Melbourne last May with my other half who has dual UK/NZ citizenship (he was born in Dunedin). I arrived on a visitors visa and was issued with a Medicare card under the reciprocal agreement with the UK. A few months later I obtained the 461 (NZ family relationship visa) and am now experiencing difficulty renewing my expired Medicare card. I have been asked to produce an NHS card, in my 38 years of living in the UK I have never been issued with such a card. I'm not sure why my residency status has been brought into question now that I'm on a 461 visa. My partner and I have lived in UK (Yorkshire) for the best part of our lives and the temporary nature of the 461 visa in itself means that I am still a visitor here. So where do I reside - I am lost! Can anyone out there help me please.... Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'd take this to Medicare Eligibility (you may need to search for a direct number). Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
