Health and Care Worker visa holders are also exempt from the Immigration Health Surcharge, unlike many people with private or family life visas.
Children on private and family life visas may also be denied home fee status and can face international university fees, despite being raised in the UK. We urge the government to grant them all home fee status.
Taken together, and considering the costs of renewing/extending visas, many families can face significant financial pressures.
