Yes, you must meet both health insurance and tuberculosis (TB) test requirements for a UK student visa.

- Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS): £776/year, paid upfront for your full visa duration. This gives you access to the UK's National Health Service (NHS) for most healthcare needs, but some services like dental, eye care, and prescriptions may have extra costs. Fees are subject to change.
- TB Test: Required if you've lived in a country where TB is common (such as India) for 6+ months. The test must be done at a UK Home Office-approved clinic. The certificate is valid for 6 months and must be included with your visa application. Cost varies by clinic and location.
