Your child is covered until 3 months of age, but only if they didn't leave the UK during that period.
You'll also need to meet one of the below criteria:
you have a valid visa of more than 6 months and paid the surcharge for that visa
you have a valid visa for more than 6 months, but were exempt from paying the surcharge
you have a valid visa for more than 6 months, which you applied for prior to April 6 2015
You should apply for a visa for your child during the 3-month period after your child's birth.
If required, you may have to pay the surcharge for your child. Failure to do so means you may be charged for NHS services provided for your child after the 3-month period.
You don't qualify for the free NHS extension. It is only those on the eligible list, i.e medical/clinical jobs.seemapandian wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 1:05 pmMy SOC is 2139 and Lead Programmer in NHS. I'm sponsored by the NHS.
