I am on Skilled worker visa in the UK, but lost the job and i want to go back home. I paid 3 years IHS fee for me and my my family (as my dependants). If I withdraw my visa (as have no job at the moment) and go back to my country and, Can i get the IHS fee refund for the remaining time which I and my family will not be spending in the UK?
if it is possible please guide through the process.
Thanks

I don't think you can get a refund.

https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigrati ... on/refunds
When you will not get a refund
You will not get a refund if:

you withdraw your visa application after your visa is granted
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
you’re switching to another visa which is exempt from the IHS
Char (CR001 not Casa)
