Previously we uploaded a blogs which reported to our subscribers and followers that the UK Government was preparing to increase the IHS from 1 October 2020, depending on the UK Parliamentary consent. Luckily, the Immigration Health Charge Amendment Order 2020, was only presented on 6 October 2020. The amendment order comes into effect 21 days later. Afterwards, the IHS fee will only come into effect on 27 October 2020.

UK Visa Applicants who still want to submit their UK Visa applications before the increase occurs, have to ensure that they submit their visa application by 26 October 2020.

EXEMPTIONS FROM PAYING THE IHS

It is very important to note that the IHS is only payable by migrants who are applying for UK visas for periods longer than six months.  Visitor visa applicants are therefore exempt.

Furthermore, there are some other exclusions. Applicants for British citizenship and Indefinite Leave to Remain does not pay the IHS.

Migrants applying for the new Health and Care visa will also be excused from paying the IHS.

There are also individual details exclusions such as dependents of members of Her Majesty’s Forces, and the concession referred as the ‘destitute domestic violence concession.’
