    On the online FLR(M) visa application form, it says:

    "If you have not paid your IHS, you must do so before you can complete your visa application. You must pay using the external IHS website and then return to this site to complete your visa application. When you go to the IHS website, this application will be locked even if you do not pay your IHS straight away."

    If I follow the IHS link, the first page says:

    "Use this service to:
    • pay the healthcare surcharge (unless you are applying for your visa online or at a UK Premium Service Centre)"
    I have underlined the part which seems confusing and contradictory. As I am applying online, it's saying I shouldn't use this service? Is this just a typo? Or am I misreading it?

    hmm. they never make life easy--do they. when i did my wifes flr last november--online---when i had completed the application form and went into the payment section--first to come up was the IHS surcharge--i paid that and it let me proceed to the visa payment stage.. but it may have changed since then.

    Hello! I have just a query regarding the IHS, which part of the application form I need to write my IHS reference number or do I just print the email and submit together with other documents?

    You are asked to supply the number as part of the application most write it on the front page of the application where their GWF number is

    Thank you so much Mattecube. Just to clarify on the Application ID or on the bar code because both of them contain GWF

    Or is it at the bottom part of the front page of the application form?
