IHS (Immigration Health Surcharge)
A fee UK visa applicants pay to use the NHS during their stay — £776/year for students as of writing (verify at gov.uk).
The IHS is paid up front for the whole visa length as part of the online application. It is separate from tuition and the visa fee. Amounts change — confirm the current student rate on gov.uk before you apply.
