Immigration Health Surcharge to increase on 27 October 2020
The Immigration Health Surcharge will be increasing from £400 to £624 for each year of leave on 27 October 2020. This announcement comes as the UK government signed the Immigration (Health Charge) (Amendment) Order 2020 on 6 October 2020.
The Immigration Health Surcharge is a mandatory fee that applies to all foreign nationals staying in the United Kingdom for at least six months. Those who wish to submit their UK Visa applications before the increase takes place must submit their applications by 26 October 2020.
EU, EEA and Swiss citizens who wish to immigrate to the UK after 31 December 2020 will also need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge.
