I am currently not in India; will I be able to travel as the pause is only for nurses from India?Yes, you will be able to travel if your visa is approved. Please liaise with your Consultant at Envertiz to know more about this.
-
I have applied for my visa and not yet heard from UKVI, will this pause affect my visa application?"As far as we know, there are no restrictions on visa process and as soon you have visa, you will get to travel. However, considering the current situation, we do not know when you will be able to travel after the visa is approved.
-
I have received my visa and what will happen, if I cannot travel before my visa expires?"Your visa is valid for 03 months and we hope you will get to travel before the expiry of the visa. If your 90 days visa to travel to the United Kingdom for work, study or to join family has expired or is about to expire, you can request a replacement visa(vignette) with revised validity dates.
-
I am traveling with family and have arranged own accommodation, can I travel?"No, you cannot travel until there is further update on this decision.

-
I live outside India, should I travel back to India?"We suggest you not to travel back and to stay back wherever you are if you have a valid visa/residence permit to continue.

When will be the next travelling date, if my visa is approved?"We are closely monitoring the situation and in constant touch with the employers. We will be updating you from time to time.

I already have a visa, can I change my employer?"No, you cannot unless your employer confirm they no longer require you to continue with the existing offer.

When can I expect to travel?As per the update by the NHS employers, these restrictions are in place with immediate effect until further notice; hence we don’t know a time frame. This completely depends on the improvements in India’s Covid situation.

Do I need to open an NRI account with ICICI itself or can I open with any banks?Envertiz brings you a better solution to set up a bank account to use in the UK through ICICI Bank Ltd. before your travel from India.
