Switching job with 3years approved Skilled Visa to new employer

Post by Jack123456 » Thu May 27, 2021 10:40 am

Hi,

1. I am working for employer X and have a approved 3yrs Skilled visa and its valid till year 2024 and if i switch a Employer B in skilled visa, do i need to pay for same fees again.
2. If i want to switch to new employer do i have to pay for 3 years visa fees only for Myself again and not the depndent?
3. In my case i have 3years visa and i have only used 2 months visa...so does my Current employer gets back visa fees he paid for me a it was not utilised completely?

Thanks,
Jack

If you change employers you have to pay visa fee and IHS again.

Your employer won't get a refund of the visa fees.
