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.

This means that all international students over the age of 18 will be entitled. All they will need to do is make sure they are registered with a GP practice local to them, once they arrive in the UK.
