NHS surcharge refund - Tier 2 General ( change of employment)

Post by ramgoel123 » Sat Dec 29, 2018 1:42 pm

Hi all, my wife has recently extended her tier 2 general visa due to change in employment. She has paid full NHS surcharge of 1000 GBP for 5 years in August 2018 while applying for her visa first time and now again paid 1000 GBP for new visa again. Can she ask for refund as paying NHS surcharge twice does not make any sense.

Link provided does not confirm if refund is applicable in my case hence my query.

She can ask for one but might not get one as it was her choice to change employers and the previous IHS paid was in line with the visa issued.

Do you mean to say that we have to pay IHS for each change of job? I dont think home office can make money like this !!

I agree this is daylight robbery. Has anyone got more information about this matter? I was thinking of calling the helpline but feel that all they're gonna do is referring to the policy which isn't helpful.
