Refunds on visa/health surcharge after lay off?

Post by JS2811 » Thu Nov 17, 2016 11:12 am

Hi there, I'm here on a 5-year Tier 2 visa, however after 11 months, I was laid off. I have not been able to find a new employer here and I'm near the end of my curtailment.

In these situations where I did not fulfill the term of my visa, but it was not my choice, are there any refunds available?

Thanks in advance for help!

Unfortunately not.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Probably not. You could try for a IHS refund but no guarantee. But you certainly won't get a visa fee refund.

What date does your curtailment letter end?
