Zahra29: You forgot to add that the stayover person pays you heavily for healthcare, feeding, accommodation and random fees per spouse and child you charged him and continue to charge to enter your house, etc. AND the person is not entitled to benefits or funds your other house members are entitled to. Infact this person contributing so much to your household and if he defaults on any of the numerous restrictions you placed, you kick him out. You might have a problem but you might think twice before victimising the person. 19 Likes |

Zahra29: I have been avoiding this conversation but... The nursery, schools, NHS, etc. are funded by the Tax paid by workers (dependents, citizens, etc) so it's not necessarily a free meal. These guys are working really hard and paying their Taxes legally. 7 Likes |

Solumtoya: I said this before and got my head bitten off 😂, but I'll repeat what I said which is that the immigration surcharge is a nominal amount that does not cover the cost of use for those who access the health service. Ask international patients how much they paid to give birth on the NHS for example (upwards of £5k), and contrast the overall cost paid by an international student or dependent to give birth here and you'll see that the surcharge is heavily subsidised. The children of international students go to school at no cost to the parents. The fees paid to the university do not cover this. It costs upwards of £4k to fund a child's school place per year. What if the gov asked international students to cover all or some of the cost for their children's education? Would people be as eager to bring 3 or 4 children in while studying? Funding for some nursery places which many tax paying British residents cannot access, is provided to international students on lower household incomes because priority is given to the welfare of the child, even though not British. This may be free for the recipient but it is paid for by the tax payer and not the university. Also council tax which the student (and their dependents in some cases) do not need to pay- saving approx £150 per month depending on the council band? The universities do not cover all the above costs. They collect their fees and run and leave the rest to the local councils and government. 5 Likes |

kwakudtraveller:The guy said the truth on the wrong platform. That's how some clowns went to No. 10 to submit a letter about the last general election and some even went to protest in Washington. And you expect them to respect us as a people. When our people in government do wrong, we run to report to these western countries but when we do the same or worse, we want it kept indoors so we don't "wash our laundry in public".

Please can someone point me to the right direction and how to put it if I want to tell my employer to sponsor me Note: they don't have licence yet (COS), I want to do my assignment very well before putting it out there to them. 1. Possible how much it will cost them? 2a. They are under NHS (supplier/CCG). Am I correct to tell them it's the health and care visa category they should apply for (that is if they conversation progresses to be favourable) 2b. For someone not in medical/care settings but works under NHS umbrella, will they refunded back their HEALTH INSURANCE SURCHARGE 3. Is there any risk for them or on their part? Semmyk, justwise, hustle,lexusgs460 and all the egbons in the house. Please help! |

Technically, they'll become out of status and would have to leave if there's no visa category for them. However, being here already, it's left to be seen how things will play out. There'll 'always' be a way!!! #InterestingTimesAhead Hkana: 1 Like |

Which NHS surcharge is paying for healthcare? Did Ultrasound scan out of pocket because I couldn’t wait for the long list and paid 175 pounds then. |

Zahra29: You minimise the contribution international students +dependents bring. Their footfall alone, the presence of a working populace and the effect it has on growing the economy cannot be overestimated. From housing, consumption of goods, intellectual ability, labour provision e.t.c To put things in perspective, these students contribute much more to the system when compared to what their British peers contribute. Worse still, they get much less out of it. 2 Likes |

Zahra29: Any government official that believes this should not be in a position of planning I have not come across a Brit that would pay 15k, Visa + IHS fee and separate from family all cos of a masters degree. They'd consider it ridiculous. How then does the UK expect a low income Nigeria to churn out such cash to stuff their coffers? Returning to contribute is one of the hypocritical statements branded around. They could stay back and contribute to the UK economy. For the Nigerian labour market, a UK masters is not worth any more that masters from elsewhere. Many times not worth the paper it was issued on. Over 95% of folks coming for masters see it as a means to emigrate legally. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Just like with being part of the EU, the UK economy gains much more from international students than it gives. 9 Likes |

jedisco: I cannot agree with you more. The Brits concern is borne out of fear of bring overwhelmed by intellectuals from the immigrant community. Imagine a masters class of over 300 students and none are Brits. These students graduate and enter the economy. They may start small but will climb the career ladder far higher than the average brit whose highest education level is a diploma or technical certificate. How many brits can afford to pay such high school fees? Even with the subsidised education and access to student loans, they still feel less motivated to further their education. These dependents they are talking about are mostly highly skilled individuals with years of corporate experience in their home country. Ten years down the line, you can only imagine what they will attain (career wise) in a clime that offers better opportunities. I can recall the former first minister of Scotland talking about how foreign students have helped to grow the UK economy and how Scotland has benefited immensely from foreign students. You want their money but you don't want their family. School fees has skyrocketed, landlords are smiling to the bank with some collecting 6 months advance. Go to most care homes, who look after the old and sick brits? 99% are dependents of immigrant students. How many brits do personal care in care homes? The hypocrisy is just too much. What happens to building more infrastructure and providing more amenities with the increased taxes? It's our leaders I blame. Anyway. We will all be fine, this I am sure. 24 Likes |
