Query on IHS refund for dependents

Post by k_dev » Thu Mar 28, 2024 7:34 pm

I have a query on IHS refund for Skilled worker visa dependents. I had a 5 year skilled worker visa, but unfotunaley I lost my job in layoffs, and didn't found a new sponsor, and going back to my home country.
My visa was sponsored by my company, but for my dependents (wife and kids), I payed all the fees. There visa is also for the same tenure of 5 years ending in January 2026.
My query is can we get IHS refund for the dependents visa for the remaining visa tenure (about 2 years) ? If refund is possible, what would be the process to get the refund?

You will not get a refund if:

- your visa application is successful but you do not come to the UK
- you leave the UK before your visa ends, for example to make a new application
- you’re told to leave the UK before your visa expires
- you’re applying for indefinite leave to remain
When did you leave your job?

Does your spouse work?

My spouse was not working.

Not enough time has passed to find another sponsor to be honest. It takes a bit of time.

What is your job/profession?

I am in IT, the market is really bad, no one is ready to sponsor. I was in redundancy leave since three months, so I am searching since last 3 months.
Coming to the original query, do you know if I can get the refund ?

I already answered your question! Was there something from the official website that was unclear?

Thanks.
It seems like I will not get the refund as these points do not apply to me.
