Claim back your Immigration Health Surcharge

Claim back your Immigration Health Surcharge

Do you work in a healthcare role for an average of 16 hours per week and have paid the Immigration Health Surcharge?

You can claim back your Immigration Health Surcharge fee, even if your employer paid the surcharge and you are reimbursing your employer through salary deductions.

Applications are being processed for the period 1 October 2020 to 31 March 2021. You can backdate your claim to 31 March 2020 if you haven’t already applied. You must have worked for at least 16 hours per week during that period, but this can be in more than one eligible job. Reimbursement payments are processed in six-month installments in arrears.

Eligible applicants can now apply online or by telephone. Find out more about the scheme.
