英国签证递交费(英国签证申请费用修改公告)

Recently, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has announced changes to their visa application fees and these changes will come into effect from 6th April 2020. This article will discuss these changes and their impact on visa applicants.

Changes to Application Fees

The UKVI has announced that the application fees for visas will be increased from 6th April 2020. The changes are as follows:

Standard Visitor visa fee will increase from ￡93 to ￡95

Short-term study visa fee will increase from ￡97 to ￡100

2-year visit visa fee will increase from ￡350 to ￡361

5-year visit visa fee will increase from ￡636 to ￡655

10-year visit visa fee will increase from ￡798 to ￡822

Spouse/partner visa fee will increase from ￡1,523 to ￡1,583

The above fees are for visa applications made outside the United Kingdom. The fees for applications made inside the United Kingdom will also increase on the same date.

Impact on Visa Applicants

These changes to visa application fees will impact the visa applicants. The increase in fees, although marginal, may deter some applicants from applying for UK visas. Also, those considering long-term visits or study in the UK will have to pay higher fees than before. Spouses and partners of UK residents or citizens will also feel the pinch with the increase in fees for their visas.

It is important for visa applicants to factor in the new fees when budgeting for their application costs. They must make sure they have enough funds to cover the application fee and the additional costs such as travel, accommodation, and other related expenses.

Conclusion

The changes to the visa application fees announced by UKVI will have an impact on visa applicants. The marginal increase in fees may discourage some applicants from applying for UK visas. However, it is important for visa applicants to factor in the new fees when budgeting for their application costs
