Dependent child (born in UK) on PBS dependent Tier-2 Visa extension

[myousef]

Hi,
I have been in UK for 5 years, I got my ILR issued mid May 2022. I have a 3 years old child born in UK and he is now eligible for British citizenship application which I have done through MN1 form.

My child's PBS Dependent visa will expire on 18th June 2022.

Do I need to apply for an extension for his Visa just to avoid being an overstayer, which form will that be? or should I only wait for a decision on MN1?

I also read in this forum that I need to do him a private insurance if he got no visa and waiting for MN1, he's not currently in pre-school.

Thanks in advance.

Your child is entitled to be registered as a British citizen hence overstaying has no effect. So there is no need for a visa extension. He may not be able to use the NHS until he gets registered if his visa runs out

I also read in this forum that I need to do him a private insurance if he got no visa and waiting for MN1, he's not currently in pre-school.Even UK visitors are allowed emergency service if required. Moreover, your child's visa is auto extended(Not like he needs it) by another application in the HO. You're overthinking it.

Thanks in advance.

This is incorrect @Ticktack, MN1 is NOT an immigration application and does not extend an expiry visa status under section 3C. Once the child's visa expires, they have no legal status in the UK.

Thanks for the check CR001. You're a 110% spot on! It isn't an immigration application.

Yes, consider health insurance.

Even UK visitors are allowed emergency service if required.

Only limited emergency services are free, the rest is billed at 150% of the national NHS cost.

4.3. The current list of exempt services comprises:

accident and emergency (A&E) services (whether provided at an A&E
department or similar e.g. urgent care centre, walk-in centre or minor injuries
unit) but not including services provided after the overseas visitor is accepted
as an inpatient or at a follow-up outpatient appointment. So, where emergency
treatment is given after admission to the hospital, e.g. intensive care or
coronary care, it is chargeable to a non-exempt overseas visitor.



https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-entitle ... alth-guide
The National Health Service (Charges to Overseas Visitors) Regulations 2015 and government guidance on overseas visitors hospital charging regulations outline the NHS services that are currently free of charge irrespective of an overseas visitor’s country of normal residence (as long as they have not travelled to the UK for the purpose of seeking that treatment). These services are:

accident and emergency services, such as those provided at an A&E department, walk-in centre, minor injuries unit or urgent care centre (not including emergency services provided after being admitted as an inpatient, or at a follow-up outpatient appointment, for which charges must be levied unless the overseas visitor is exempt)
