Can't answer your question, but if you require any sort of medication on a monthly basis, then you're better off getting a prescription prepayment certificate. You'll pay £10/monthly covering all your meds.
Is this some kind of insurance?

Its not an insurance. Check https://services.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/buy-prescription-prepayment-certificate/start for details.
It's better suited for people on a regular medication.

I finally read the UK version of that website, that fast track has been suspended and they are encouraging people to apply for ETC if one need the passport urgently. As they are still processing April applicants there is no point even applying now.

Accept my condolence and may God give you the fortitude to bear the loss. As at today, I can confirm they are still accepting fast track application with £100 postal order. Infact nothing has changed as a lot of applicants were there for fast track and it was business as usual. Same for last week.

It's not.
Scottish mid-income earners and above pay more tax than the rest of the UK, so the SNP throws in services such as this one and the extra 15 hours free nursery school.

Men that tax thing can be somehow when you receive your pay sha. My wife didn’t receive the thing well when she got her first proper pay. I had to preach so many things for her to come to terms with it. It was kind of much sha.

But hey, I would rather pay high tax and have things working. Than pay little n get the little stolen by some illiterate or bunch of elderly liars.

Hello guys.
I have a question please. If you get to uk on a student visa or let’s say dependant visa. If you get a job offering more than 25k per year, does it give you the leeway to apply for tier 2 visa or the job has to come with sponsorship as wel even if it pays above 25k.
PS; I know this might have been answered before or a ‘quick google search’
I’d just like someone to explain to me like I’m 10

You need a sponsor to apply for tier 2, you cannot apply on your own.

Thank you all for your messages..really appreciate.

@fatima04 i'm not really surprised that they are still doing it unofficially but this is the thing though...they are complaining of backlog of applications and people have been waiting for months but they still find time to process fact track application for extra £100? Nice!

Doesn't mean much if you don't have papers ..even if the job is paying £200,000.

Tier 2 needs both the COS (sponsorship and a minimum salary )

Well the UK charges £800 for ILR fast track so £100 for passport fast track is quite reasonable.

Yes but if you use standard you still get it within a month, i never bothered with their fast track though as i see it as waste of money.

Was that pre-covid? These days it takes months. If you get it in 3 months then you are lucky
