The UK Global Talent Visa application involves several fees, including the endorsement application fee, visa application fee, and the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS). Here’s a detailed breakdown of these costs:
1. Endorsement Application Fee:
• The fee for endorsement is £456. This is required when submitting an application for endorsement from the designated body.

2. Visa Application Fee:
• Once endorsed, the visa application itself costs £167 for each applicant, including dependents.
3. Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS):
• Visa holders and their dependents are required to pay the IHS, which grants access to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). The cost is £624 per year per person for the duration of the visa (e.g., £3,120 for a 5-year visa).
In total, a single applicant may expect to pay around £3,743 for a 5-year Global Talent Visa, not including costs for dependents. Additional costs, like priority processing fees, may apply if the applicant chooses an expedited service.
