Corporate Immigration- United Kingdom

Background

The UK Home Office has announced that, effective April 2 2007, the fees for all immigration and nationality applications will increase to reflect the full cost of the end-to-end immigration system. The new fees list is below.

In response to the findings of a public study, the Home Office has established a new model for setting fees for immigration and nationality applications and has announced new fees for all such applications. In creating the new model the government considered:

  • the value of a successful application to the migrant and the value of the migrant to the United Kingdom;
  • elasticity of demand;
  • the fees charged by other countries; and
  • wider government objectives.

Under the new model, the Home Office will take into account both in-country (Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND)) and overseas (UKvisas) application fees when setting new fees, with the goal of creating greater alignment between in-country and overseas fees. The Home Office plans to review the new model regularly to ensure no significant adverse impact on UK businesses.
