Increase to the Immigration Health Surcharge

8th February 2018 By Alison Hunter

The government has recently announced that the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), which is payable by nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area who stay in the United Kingdom for six months or longer, will soon rise from £200 to £400 a year. The discounted rate for students and those on the Youth Mobility Scheme will go up from £150 to £300.

A total of 746 patients with seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis have completed 8 controlled clinical trials of triamcinolone acetonide solution. However, there is no evidence that suggests that beta-blockers are completely safe or harmful during pregnancy. What should I know before using the product http://farmaciaonlinesinreceta.org/. Valproic acid is generally not recommended in pregnancy, as it can harm your unborn baby.

While a huge increase, it is below the tripling of the charge which was proposed in the Conservative Party’s Manifesto of 2017, and there is therefore concern that the amounts could increase further in the future. The IHS already represents a significant financial burden for many applicants and the increase will only worsen the impact: a spouse applying to join their partner in the UK will face an outlay of £1200 in addition to the expensive Home Office application fees.

The government say the rise will provide “an extra £220 million a year to support the NHS”. Quite how far an extra £220m will stretch against an annual budget of £122 billion remains to be seen.

We think that this change will come into force at the beginning of April 2018. Therefore if you are in a position to make an application before then, you may want to consider doing so. Equally, for those who are part-way through their five year route to settlement, we would expect the higher amount to be due on the extension application and you will need to plan accordingly. In most cases, this means that you will need to find another £500 to make a successful application.

If you have questions about the increase, or would like to book an initial consultation for tailored, individual advice, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are so pleased today to have submitted Trent’s application to register as a BOTC and British citizen following recent changes to the law.

Well done to the @BOTCCAMPAIGN for their work in highlighting the historic injustice for children of BOTC parents!

Home Office @ukhomeoffice

We've launched new routes to nationality for those affected by historical anomalies, including for British Overseas Territories citizens.

This will help people like Trent, who is now able to apply for both British overseas territories citizenship & British citizenship.
