Why have you presumed that? There's nothing to suggest that the charges are for the length of the visa as they are now. i.e £600 for 2.5 years in the case of a spouse visa.bluebird12 wrote:Conservative Party Manifesto 2017 says NHS Surcharge will rise in future to £600 ( I presume per year ) so for 2.5 years LTR it will be £1500.... not a surprise at all ....

Perhaps in conventional elections. But in this election, where the only discussion seems to be how big the Tory majority will be (expectations ranges from 40 to 200), it would be more prudent to treat the Conservative Party manifesto as government policy announcements.seagul wrote:During election compaigns every party has right to theoretically announce its own manifesto about which we don't need to open new new threads.

While not stated in the manifesto, the FT and Times have reported it as a tripling of the IHS.Casa wrote:Why have you presumed that? There's nothing to suggest that the charges are for the length of the visa as they are now. i.e £600 for 2.5 years in the case of a spouse visa.
The Times - Conservative manifesto: hiring foreign workers to cost more wrote:Under the proposal, the annual skills surcharge per skilled worker from a non-EU state will double to £2,000 by 2022 and the immigration health surcharge payable by a foreign skilled worker will treble from £200 to £600.
FT - UK companies to pay £2,000 a year for each non-EU worker wrote:He calculated that the total cost for a UK company of bringing in a non-EU worker had already risen from £2,151 to £7,174, after the introduction on April 6 of a £1,000 a year migrant skills charge. He then calculates that the total would rise to £14,174 under the new proposals as the skills fee is doubled and a charge of £200 a year to use the NHS is tripled.
