Hi there,
I am currently on Skilled worker visa in the UK, which was sponsored by my current employer. The certificate of sponsorship is valid till 08 Nov 2024 and my BRP expires on 21 Nov 2024.
I have now found a new job with another employer and I am in the process of getting my visa updated. I wanted to understand how the IHS works in this regard:
1) if my new employer issues me a three-year or a five-year sponsorship, do I just need to pay IHS after 08 Nov 2024 till my CoS expires or do I pay the complete amount for this new visa?
2) if I pay the full amount (624 X 3 or 5 years), does my existing IHS gets refunded? Do I need to initiate the refund process? Would it be refunded against the card I used when I applied for it from back home, how does the refund work
3) To make it easier, should I ask my new employer to issue me a CoS until 08 Nov 2024, and then issue me another after that?
Really appreciate your advice.
Thanks
