The IHS fee (Immigration Health Surcharge) is a mandatory payment for all international students applying for a UK student visa. This fee gives you access to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) during your stay as a student.

IHS Fee for UK Student Visa (2024/2025)

- Current IHS Fee: £776 per year (as of 2024)
- You must pay £776 for each year of your visa’s duration.
- If your course includes a part year (e.g., 6 months), you’ll pay half the yearly amount for that period.

Example:

- 1-year course: £776
- 2-year course: £1,552
- 1 year and 4 months: £776 + (4/12 x £776) = £1,034.67

Note: The IHS fee is paid as part of your online visa application process.
