Hi,
I am currently living in the UK on a 3 year long Skilled worker visa, and my Health Care surcharge has been paid by my visa sponsor for the upcoming 2.5 years. If I switch to Global Talent visa now, will I need to pay the surcharge again?
If I need to pay, wouldn’t that mean that my healthcare surcharge has been paid twice for the same period of time, i.e. for the remaining 2.5 years?
Thanks!
I have the same question. Does anyone know?
Unfortunately you’ll have to pay the healthcare surcharge again since you’d be getting a new visa. But if I’m not mistaken, your visa sponsor can get a partial refund on their end.
