Healthcare Surcharge (ILR)

[shahmir]

This page clearly says in begining that 'You don’t need to continue if you’re applying for a visitor visa, or indefinite leave to remain (ILR)'

https://www.immigration-health-surcharg ... ment/start

But in the end it says 'You may be exempt from paying this healthcare surcharge, but you still need an IHS reference number'

So do I need this IHS reference before I apply for ILR?

No

The latter statement may refer to exemptions on a different basis other than visitor or ILR applications.
