If you’re in the process of applying for a UK visa from outside the country, seeking an extension of your stay or aiming for indefinite leave to remain, it’s important to note that a Home Office visa application fee is a mandatory part of the application process.
The specific amount of the visa application fee will vary based on factors such as the type of visa or immigration application you’re pursuing, whether the application is made from within or outside the UK, and whether you opt for a Home Office premium service for application submission.
It’s crucial for each applicant to pay the applicable fee for their visa or immigration application in full, following the prescribed application procedure. The UK visa application fee to be paid will be determined by the fee in effect on the date of your application.
