Healthcare surcharge queries

[jiman]

I am a Tier 2 General Visa holder sponsored by my existing company. I've just renewed my visa on Oct 2016 with another 3 years Tier 2 General ending on July 2019.

For the renewal, I've already paid for my Healthcare Surcharge cost about £550 for the 3 years renewal.

My question is, if I'm moving on to another company, which the new company is sponsoring me with a new Tier 2 General Visa, do I need to repay again my Healthcare Surcharge during my new application or can I use the same Healthcare Surcharge reference number since I've already paid for it already till July 2019?

Thought to save a bit of money if I don't have to pay for it again.

Thank you

Yes you must pay it again.
