Hi, last time i received my last free tourist visa from Lliverpool consulate with no administration fee. Is this still the case. I know at Hull they charge an admin fee i think its 18 pounds

From the Hull Consulate.

TOURIST VISA FEE EXEMPTION

Tourist visas issued between 11 May 2010 and 31 March 2011 will be issued without payment of the fee of £28 per entry. Other charges including £10 for issuing in person and £8 postage still apply. Fees for non-immigrant visas and transit visas still apply.

Thats very strange .

When I recently went to the consulate here in Norway it was free so the same rules should apply for both embassies and consulates.

Easy.

Apply at the embassy.

Honorary consulates live on fee's

Free visas means = No income.
