UK Ancestral Visa Extension

[clairnickols]

Hi. My father-in law has to apply for an extension on his UK ancestral visa. Does he need to pay the NHS surcharge fee even if he is only needing an additional 6 month extension on his current ancestral visa?

An extension is a 5 year extension. He cannot ask for a lesser visa time.

Yes IHS is payable for the full 5 years.

What is his visa issue date and what date did he enter the UK?

Why does he need an extension??
