UK Health and Care Worker Visa – Costs
The standard application fee for a UK Health and Care Worker Visa depends on how long you intend to be working in the UK. For visas valid for up to 3 years, the fee is £284 per person; for more than 3 years, the fee is £551 per person.
The fee is the same whether you apply from inside or outside the UK.
You must also have at least £1,270 in your bank account to show you can support yourself in the UK. You will need to have had the money available for at least 28 days in a row. Day 28 must be within 31 days of applying for this visa.
You’ll usually need to show proof of this when you apply, unless:
- you’ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months, or;
- your employer can cover your costs during your first month in the UK
Your partner and children will also need to prove they can support themselves while they’re in the UK.
