Uk Increases Visa Fees By 2 Percent

18 Jan 2016

UK Government has proposed to increase the visa fees by two percent, excepting the sponsored category visa programs. The newly proposed changes would be effective, after the passing the legislation in the parliament.

 New visa fees are likely applicable to all the applicants who apply for the visa after April, as the new proposed law would be introduced in the Parliament in the month of April 2016.

The New Changes are:

•          The increase of two percent visa fees on Study, work and visit visas.
•          Settlement Residence and Nationality fees to be increased by 25 percent.
•          Visa fees hike applicable to priority visa services.
•          The proposed changes not applicable to sponsored visa categories.

These proposed laws are to make the UK immigration services self-efficient and not to rely on the tax payers’ money to run its services. The UK has plans to increase the fees for visas in a wide range of categories, but presently it has confined the hike to few categories.
