Visa Costs and Loans for Dependant Visas and Immigration Health Surcharge
The University of Manchester will reimburse:
- the standard cost of the Skilled Worker visa for staff who have been assigned a Certificate of Sponsorship under UKVI's Points-Based System
or - the standard cost of a Global Talent visa
plus - the related cost of the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) for the member of staff
In addition to this, the University will offer an interest-free loan to these staff to repay the incurred costs of any dependant's visas and their surcharges, up to a maximum of £10,000.
Reimbursement claims and loan applications should be submitted once the member of staff is in the UK and has started their post at The University.
The Policy, Application Form, Terms and Conditions are currently being updated, however a summary of the changes effective from 1 September 2024 can be found here.
