Does a baby born to parents on Tier 2 (General) visa require a visa??

[Khan26]

Hi,

I am on a Tier 2 (General) visa and expecting a baby in Dec 2017. I will be applying for my ILR in Jul 2018. I do not plan to travel out of UK prior to getting my ILR.

Q1: Do I need to apply for a Tier 2 dependent visa for my baby before I apply for ILR?
Q2: Is it true that the NHS treatment for new borns is only free upto 3 months and afterwards it costs 150% of the standard NHS cost if the baby doesn't have a valid visa?

Can someone help me please.

Regards

If you do not intend to travel outside UK until your ILR, then visa is not required for the baby.

Q2: Is it true that the NHS treatment for new borns is only free upto 3 months and afterwards it costs 150% of the standard NHS cost if the baby doesn't have a valid visa?
I dont think this will apply since the baby will be born in UK. Maybe others can comment on this.

Can any one help regarding this issue, I am also in the same situtaion ?

I talked to the NHS people and came to know that NHS will charge 150% of the total bill.

But how much will the baby vaccination will cost, that i am unable to find ? Any ideas in general how much it cost ?

Is there any private hospital in UK who can provide the vaccination for few months as i have to wait for transition period for 5 months in order to sort out my ILR and Baby British citizenship ?

Any reply will be much appreciated. Thanks
