I have a ten-year UK Child Visitor visa, and I'm an Indian citizen. I'm making a trip to Scotland next month to participate in a ten day leadership camp.
Can I make this trip with my existing visa?

1Is the visa still valid? Are you still a child?– GagravarrCommented May 31, 2014 at 14:38

1Yes it's a valid visa till 2016. Also a UK child visa is valid for the visa term even after the holder turns 18.– Vedant ChandraCommented May 31, 2014 at 14:43

2I wondered if my visa covered the fact that I'm taking a course there, or if I needed a student visa.– Vedant ChandraCommented May 31, 2014 at 15:44

From www.gov.uk:
What you can and can’t do
You can:
- stay in the UK for a maximum of 6 months
- take a short course of study, for up to 6 months
- stay for as long as your visa lasts, even if you turn 18 during your visit
You can’t:
- work
- get married or form a civil partnership
- bring family members (‘dependants’) with you on your application - they must apply separately
- get private medical treatment
- get public funds
so it's not a problem to visit Scotland and take part in a ten day leadership camp.

Thanks a lot for the answer! I'm surprised about the private medical treatment point. Am I permitted to be treated at a state-run hospital? Commented Jun 2, 2014 at 12:58

1@VedantChandra You can get emergency medical care if you need it; the point of that restriction is that the purpose of your visit on the Child Visitor visa cannot be to seek medical care. Commented Jun 3, 2014 at 18:17
