Immigration Health Surcharge

The Immigration Health Surcharge is a fee paid by most non-EEA nationals applying for a UK visa of more than six months, entitling them to use the National Health Service on the same basis as a settled resident. The current rate is £1,035 per year for adults and £776 per year for students and under-18s. The full surcharge for the length of the visa must be paid upfront at the time of application.
