Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people applying for leave to remain have been asked to pay an additional fee for the Immigration Health Surcharge after paying the full amount for the application in each of the last five years.

As part of the application the process the customer is required to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge, in full, before they pay their application fee.

Therefore no customer will be asked to pay an additional fee for the Immigration Health Surcharge after they have paid for their application fee.

Any additional payments would only be requested because there was a shortfall within the Immigration Health Surcharge paid. We do not hold data on these top up requests.
