Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether non-EEA immigrants who have been issued an ancestry visa and already live and work in the UK will be affected by the planned increase in the immigration healthcare surcharge.

Non-EEA migrants who have entered the UK via the ancestry route, will be affected by the proposed increase to the immigration health surcharge if they apply to extend their temporary stay after the increase has come into force. Migrants applying for indefinite leave to remain will continue to be exempt from the surcharge.
