Increase in Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS): The IHS will see a substantial increase of 66%, rising from £624 to £1,035 per person per year for most main applicants. This surcharge is paid by visa applicants to access healthcare services under the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.

Revised UK Visa Application Fees: Alongside the IHS increase, the UK visa application fees are also set to increase by at least 15%. These changes are expected to be implemented for all immigration applications submitted from 4 October 2023.
