New fast track NHS visa !

Proposed scheme:

• The cost for the visa for health professionals will be halved from £928 to £464.
• Applicants will be guaranteed a decision on visa application within 2 weeks.
• Applicants coming to work in NHS would receive Preferential treatment with extra points under the points-based system and no cap on the numbers entering through the NHS route in UK.
• They would also be able to pay back the cost of the immigration health surcharge through their salary if the charge is not already covered by the NHS trust offering the job.
