The government announced a 15% increase for majority of work and visit visas, and an increase of at least 20% for study visas, priority visas and certificates of sponsorship.
The changes include:
Fees for up to 6 months, 2, 5 and 10 year visit visas.
Some fees for entry clearance and certain applications for leave to remain in the UK including those for work and study.
Fees for indefinite leave to enter and indefinite leave to remain.
Convention travel document and stateless person’s travel document.
Health and Care visa.
Fees in relation to certificates of sponsorship and confirmation of acceptance for studies.
The in and out of country fee for the super priority service and the out of country fee for the priority service. The settlement priority service will reduce so it is aligned with the cost of using the priority service.
Applications to Register and Naturalise as a British Citizen.
The fee for the User Pays Visa Application service.
Subject to Parliamentary approval, the immigration and nationality fees will increase from 4 October 2023. Today’s changes do not include the planned increase to the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) which are scheduled to be introduced later in the Autumn.
