Immigration fee changes

If you are looking to submit an immigration application to the Home Office, whether this is as an individual or a family member, you will need to ensure that your application is accompanied by the correct fee.

The government set out proposed fee changes for Immigration which came into effect on the 18^th March 2016. Under the new changes there is an increase to the fees charged for applications submitted to the Home office.

The main changes to the fees include;

·         An increase to visit, study and work visas

·         An increase to settlement, residence and nationality applications

·         An increase to premium services

If you are submitting an application to the Home Office, it is crucial that you speak with an individual who is able to advise you on the appropriate application and accompanying fee.
