Hi! Galleria,
as other sisters said, it's impossible for you to get a dependent visa for you to stay in UK. And the custom people are so strict these days...even if you have a dependent visa, they still question you for a few minutes. I used to hold a entry clearance visa/dependent visa when I lived in UK with my husband. BTW, just want to tell yo one thing, from my experience, my daughter was born in a UK public hospital 2 years ago, so she holds a british passport, if she wants to live in HK, she needs to get a dependent visa, and after she lives in HK for 7 years, then she can become a HK citizen, this is true bcoz we've tried to apply permanent resident status for her and failed, they said the HK immigration rules has changed after 97...it's so much hassle that she's not born in HK, if we knew it the first place, we would have fly back to HK and given birth to her.
anyway, when I registered for a GP, theydidn't ask for NI, all they need to see it proof of address, and I didn't get my NI until I apply for my british citizenship, and if you're not planning to work in UK, they won't even consider your case.
Hi LovelyJade,
Thanks for your advice. Just want to ask u, u mean that yr daughter is still holding a british passport. But she need to live in HK for 7 yrs, then she becomes a permanent resident of HK, right? If register with GP, I can show them address proof, it's not a problem at all.
Actually, I'm planning to live in UK after my baby starts going to school but not now.
Do u think the government hospital will consider my case if I pay for it?? Do u know around how much?? Thanks.
During the GP registration, they will check your proof of address AND passport to confirm your residency.

Hi, Galleria,
I'm afraid you don't understand what I am saying. First, without a valid dependent visa, the custom people won't even let you into the country, especially you'll be heavily pregnant (36 weeks) when you enter UK.
even if you've successfully entered UK, the first problem is to find a place to live, if you don't have a job, you won't find an accommodation, bcoz they will do a credit and background check on you, ie to check you UK bank record and see if you're working and have regular income, even if you have money in your hand, they will still do the same. if you live with your friends, then this will be easier,just change the name of one of the utility bills.
if you're lucky enough to have a proof of address, the clinic will also need to see if you're a resident of UK, if no visa, that means you can't register to see a GP, and no hospital will take you. Esp when you'll be 36weeks pregnant, most hospital are so busy that they won't even do any check up or let you have the baby there. In my case, we moved to a bigger place when I was 22 weeks pregnant, so had to find another GP and in the end took me 3 weeks to find another public hospital.
what i'm trying to say is what you're planning to do is just impossible.
if you're planning to take your kid to UK to study, just get a visa for him/her then, live there for a few years, he/she can still become citizen.
