Croatia's cancellation and transfer rules
The British Council's Croatia policy uses five weeks, not the 15 days common elsewhere. Cancel more than five weeks before the test for a refund minus a 25% admin fee; within five weeks there is no refund. Computer-test dates can be moved free up to five weeks ahead, and for 25% of the fee after that, in the Test Taker Portal.
If illness stops you sitting the test, an original medical certificate in Croatian or English, uploaded with a cancellation request within two calendar days of the test, gets the fee back minus 25%. Family members' notes are not accepted, and refunds take four to six weeks.
| Time before the test | Transfer (computer) | Cancel |
|---|---|---|
| More than five weeks | Free | Refund minus 25% admin fee |
| Five weeks or less | 25% of the fee | No refund (medical certificate exception) |

IELTS for UKVI
IELTS for UKVI and Life Skills follow the separate UKVI policy: cancel more than 14 days ahead for 75% back, within 14 days but more than two days ahead for 50%, within two days for 25%, and nothing on or after test day. A UKVI booking can be transferred only once, more than 14 days ahead, to a date within three months, and the centre may charge up to 25%. The British Council lists CEFR B2 for the UK Skilled Worker and Health and Care Worker visas: at least 5.5 in each of the four parts of IELTS for UKVI. B1 (4.0 in each part) still applies to people already on those routes before 8 January 2026 who are only extending (British Council). See IELTS for the UK Skilled Worker visa; nurses should also read IELTS for nurses in the UK.
