Visa + IHS fee calculation

[canadian86]

Sorry for the annoying question but I just want to check I have my Tier 2 General Visa Renewal fees straight.

To apply in the country for a Tier 2 General less than 3 years is £704 per person, correct?

The IHS surcharge is £400 per person per year? This is what I'm most uncertain about because I've used the calculator a few times and I've gotten different numbers - the last time it came out a £200 person per year, so I'm not sure what is correct.

So for 3 years and 3 people (two dependents, one sponsor) it would be £5,700?

Thanks,
Joel

Visa fee is correct yes.

IHS has increased today to £400 per year per person. So for a 3 year visa, £1200 IHS each.

Thank you for this - I knew something was the matter! I did the calculation last week and it was half the amount! The UK government is really doing all they can to slash immigration numbers with these insane fees

We posted about it in October last year warning applicants.

If I were to get a three year renewal visa do I have to pay the entire 3 year health care surcharge up front or can I pay for my first year at the time of the application and top up the remaining years as they occur? If so, how do I go about this?

You have to pay the full 3 years IHS at the time of visa application.
