Dear ALL,
I hope you are doing well.
When I came to the UK to work as a marie curie research fellow (H2020 - IF) I had to apply for a UK visa. I am wondering if my fellowship covers the UK visa fees and if I can ask for a reimbursement. Are there any documents on this, maybe?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best wishes,
Zaineb
Dear ALL,
Many thanks for your help!
I will ask for a claim then.

Here are some details from University of Nottingham:
Costs will be reimbursed for the following incurred expenses:
UK Visa Fee
Initial NHS Healthcare Surcharge
Additional fees paid for fast-tracked visa processing
Hi Zaineb,
Yes, you can claim the visa cost. Check under section 5.4 on page 28

Hi Zaineb,
The current IF Guide for Applicants says that "costs for visa-related fees and travel expenses" may be paid from the budget for "Research, training and networking costs". So you should be able to cover this from the project and not from your own pocket.
All the Best,
Brian
