Home Office Update: Implementation of Health Surcharge
The Home Office has recently released an important update for citizens outside the European Economic Area (EEA) applying for a UK visa.
Non-EEA citizens applying for a non-visitor visa (those with intentions to work, study or join their family in the UK) for a duration exceeding 6 months, will now be required to pay a health surcharge. Applicants who are currently in the UK applying for an extension of their stay are also required to pay the said additional fee. This new rule will take effect on April 6, 2015.
There are exemptions such as Australian and New Zealand nationals, and Tier 2 skilled workers under the Intra-company transfers category who are workers of a multi-national company and are to be assigned in its UK office for a skilled job. These types of applicants will be given a reference number as proof of their exemption, which is to be used in their visa application. (more…)
