The Health and Care visa was designed to encourage healthcare professionals from around the world to come to work in the UK health sector. For applicants, the benefits of the new Health and Care Worker visa include fast-tracked entry to the UK, together with reduced visa fees and exemption from the Immigration Health Surcharge. It also includes the support of a dedicated team within UKVI in processing visa applications for migrants and their dependent families. Qualified doctors, nurses, health professionals and adult social care professionals are eligible to apply for the Health and Care visa. Interested candidates without health and care background must get trained for the NHS accredited certificate before applying.
