New immigration fees from 6 April 2010

08 March 2010

Following Parliamentary approval, the new immigration fees publicised on 20 January and 10 February 2010 are going to be introduced from Tuesday 6 April 2010 for all those applying to study, visit, work or stay in the UK. The fees have been increased for settlement and dependant relatives applications, as well as entry clearance applications under the and categories of the points-based system. However, the fees have been reduced for nationality applications.

In practice, the change in the fees means that applicant will need to pay particular attention to use the up-to-date form as well as to pay the correct fee. Otherwise, the application bundle may be returned as invalid with the consequence of a prospective appeal or breaking the continuity of leave.
