The Immigration Health Surcharge has increased as of 6 February 2024 from £624 to £1035 per year. Unfortunately, this is a substantial increase and will be multiplied on the basis of the length of the UK entry visa which the applicant is applying for. Now, the Immigration Health Surcharge will be more expensive than the Home Office application fee itself in many circumstances. Another increase could be in force from October 2024, so we would advise clients to apply prior to this date where possible.
