New Visa Fees

[ccfc1927]

Hi all

Going to get married in the UK sometime later this year to TGF, so going down the Fiancee Visa route in a few months time.

Am I right in thinking the cost for the fiancee visa is now £500 and then after the six months the FLR costs £395???

Thanks

The visa/Home Office charges for a fiancée visa will be:-

1. £500.00 for the settlement visa;

2. £395.00 for the leave to remain once you are married;

3. £750.00 for indefinite leave to remain after 2 years;

4. £575.00 for naturalisation as a British citizen;

5. £100.00+ for a British passport.

Total = £2320.00 within the space of 3 years.

You can avoid paying the £395.00 for the extension if you marry in Thailand instead of the UK, and, even better, if you can dig up (not literally) a forebear of another European nationality, you could get it all for free.

Isnt the FLR what you apply for after 2 years? and the ILR you pay after the 6 months visa finishes, if so is this 750?

Having been born in Wales and adopted by a father whose parents were from Ulster, and he was brought up there but was actually born in China, I wonder what would be my chances of getting an Irish passport?

Just idle curiosity - I'm not anticipating sponsoring any settlement visas, but you never know

According to the IND website these are proposed fees for 'consultation'. Do you have a source indicating they are now reality?

They may call them Proposed New Fee Levels, but they will be a reality!

[the scouser]

The IND website says that these proposed fees are as a result of the consultation, not that they are up for consultation. It adds that the legislation to make them law, and effective from 1 April, will shortly be presented to parliament.

I think it's a safe bet to assume that they'll be reality.

The UKvisas website state the new fees will be applied from April 1st. Source

They evidently also think it is a foregone conclusion that Parliament will pass the relevant legislation. I think fait accompli is the pertinent phrase.

Under the 1956 Act your father is Irish. Furthermore, you acquired that citzenship upon adoption.

Congratulations, you are a member of the sainted although our luck outside of the emerald isle can be somewhat unreliable.
