When will the fees increase?
The changes to visa and immigration fees will come into effect on 9 April 2025.
The upcoming immigration fee increase marks one of many that have been implemented under both the recently elected Labour government and the former Conservative government. The increase is part of efforts to reduce net migration figures to the UK and to create a more hostile environment towards migrants.
