Hi sir, thanks for informative video. I have question appreciate if you could clarify me. I got my skilled worker visa approved for 5 years from 25/01/2025 and unfortunately now I’m at risk at job redundancy about to leave the job 30th June 2025. I’m planning to leave the UK after that. I paid total 5 years IHS chargers including my two dependants. Could I able to apply refund ? What is the process ? Your assistance please

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. I understand this is a concerning situation for you and your family.


Regarding your Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) refund:


Unfortunately, under current UK immigration rules, you are generally not eligible for a refund of the IHS if you leave the UK before your visa ends, even due to redundancy. The IHS is paid upfront for the full duration of the visa granted, and a refund is typically only given in specific circumstances, such as:


Your visa application was refused.

You paid the IHS twice for the same period.

You withdrew your visa application before a decision was made.

You were granted a shorter visa than you applied for (in which case a partial refund is automatic).

You are a health or care worker who qualifies for a specific reimbursement scheme, or a student with an EHIC/S1 certificate under certain conditions.

Since your Skilled Worker visa was approved and you are leaving the UK before its expiry, it's unlikely you will receive a refund for the unused portion of the IHS.


When your employer reports your redundancy to the Home Office, your Skilled Worker visa will likely be curtailed, giving you 60 days (or until your visa's original expiry date, whichever is sooner) to either leave the UK or make a new valid visa application.
