✈️ Travelling to England? It is worth understanding how NHS charging works before you arrive.

Some NHS services are generally free to overseas visitors, including GP services, NHS 111 and treatment in A&E up to the point of admission. Other hospital treatment may be chargeable, sometimes at 150% of the NHS tariff.

Urgent or immediately necessary treatment must still be provided, but that does not always mean it is free.

Our updated article also covers EHICs, maternity care, the Immigration Health Surcharge and when NHS debt may affect a future visa application.

πŸ“ˆ The Scale-up sponsor licence can offer qualifying high-growth businesses greater flexibility and lower sponsorship costs than the Skilled Worker route.

But it is not available to every employer.

Our latest article explains the 20% HMRC growth test, the alternative endorsing body pathway for certain younger businesses, and why Skilled Worker sponsorship may still be the more suitable option for many employers.

It also looks at the key practical differences between the two routes, including sponsorship periods, fees and ongoing sponsor obligations.

If someone is detained under immigration powers, both the Secretary of State and, in certain circumstances, the First-tier Tribunal may have the power to grant immigration bail.

The updated guide explains who can apply, how applications are made, the factors considered when deciding whether to grant bail and the conditions that may be imposed.

It also covers automatic bail referrals and when a further application can be made following a refusal.

πŸ” UK sponsors should review who has access to their Sponsor Management System.

New Home Office guidance introduces mandatory multi-factor authentication, begins the withdrawal of the Level 2 User role and sets out a new process for dealing with inactive SMS accounts.

For employers, this means SMS security and user management are increasingly part of sponsor compliance, not simply administrative matters.

πŸ“– Our latest article explains the changes and the practical steps sponsors should take now:
