IHS Fee for NHS Workers for Spouse settlement VISA extension

Post by mrz92 » Thu Jul 15, 2021 3:04 pm

My visa is due to be extended as Spouse Settlement Category. My husband is a British National. I am currently working in a Hospital. I would like to know if I can get the IHS fee waived off as I am in essential worker category within NHS?

Also see similar thread.

In your case, you are not exempt from the IHS (because you are not in the UK on a Tier 2 Health and Social Care visa), but you will be eligible for a refund of the IHS in six monthly blocks (because you are directly eligible and working for the NHS).

Thanks for the info.

I thought there will be a way to get this waived off. :(
