An Impact Assessment was completed to support the Immigration Health Surcharge Order, increasing the surcharge to £624 per adult and to £470 for children, students and those on the Youth Mobility scheme. It is published here: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2020/30/pdfs/ukia_20200030_en.pdf

This Impact Assessment sets out the direct impacts including the expected increase in surcharge revenue for HMG as well as any wider economic impacts of the policy.
