Immigration Health Surcharge for New Borns after they are 3m

I am currently on a tier 2 visa and i will be going for my ILR in 7months time. We had a baby in March 2017 and given that i had no plans to travel abroad with the baby i have no intentions to apply for her immigration application. Recently i read on some forums that kids born to Non-EEA parents are only exempt from NHS until they are 3months old.

This seems like a trap to me where i have to spend £1200 or so pounds for no reason at all!....as, so far i have not come across any method which will allow me to only pay for IHS and not the Tier 2 dependent visa!

As far as my knowledge goes Babies born in the UK dont need a visa unless they are travelling abroad and want to come back to UK.

Kindly guide me if anyone has been through similar circumstances. It just seems a waste a £600.00 to be spent on an immigration application. I dont mind paying IHS(but IHS is tied to immigration application!! )

Hi,

That is not correct. Babies born in UK are not considered overstaye. They will be eligbile for free NHS.

I know someone personally who had their baby born in UK while they were on student visa. They applied for visa for baby when they switched to Tier 2.

I hope that clears things up.

Don't apply visa for your baby. Once you get ILR ,you apply to register as BC

If a child is over 3 months old and without a visa, any NHS services will be charged at 150% of the costs.
