The key changes to UK Visa Fees from April 2018 are set out below:
- Increase to UK visa fees on growth routes (work, study and visit) by 4%.
- Increase to fees on most non-growth routes (nationality, settlement, family) and most associated premium services by 4%.
- The fee for the overseas optional ‘Priority Visa’ service for entry clearance will increase by 15%.
The government has not made any changes to fees under the sponsorship system. UK visa fees for entry clearance to enter the Channel Islands and Isle of Man will also rise in line with fee changes in the rest of the UK.
