Consultation launched on immigration fee increases
08 September 2004
Reference: 285/2004
Fees for foreign nationals using immigration services will be increased in April 2005 in a move that could save UK taxpayers £100 million in 2005-06, Home Office Minister Des Browne announced today.
The Government is also consulting businesses and other stakeholders on proposals to include appeal and enforcement costs, as part of the overall fee, for the first time. This will ensure that those who benefit from immigration services pay for the cost of delivering them, rather than UK taxpayers. Over £70 million has already been raised through charging in 2003-04 - costs that would previously have been borne by taxpayers.
The consultation shows the impact of the appeal and enforcement costs on charges for the following immigration applications:
Charges for foreign nationals working in the UK who need to extend their stay (eg work permit holders) may increase from £121 to between £265 and £300. Also leave to remain fees for those who need to extend their stay in the UK, such as students and spouses, may rise from £250 for a premium service to between £430 and £495.
Fees for the Sectors Based Scheme, which meets recruitment needs in hospitality and food processing, may rise from £153 to between £230 and £270;
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme fees may rise from £150 to between £320 and £375;
Travel document fees for those who cannot get or use a passport from their own country could range from £25 to £270 depending on which type of document is applied for.
Mr Browne said:
"It is clearly in our interest to welcome genuine overseas students and workers with the skills we need to contribute to the UK and our economy. However these benefits are reciprocal. It is only right that those who benefit from the immigration service meet the costs of providing it.
“The fees we are proposing are proportionate and necessary to ensure that we can deliver a self-financing migration programme which continues to provide an efficient service to its customers, while regulating entry and taking action against those who do not have a right to be here.”
The Government is also consulting on proposals to:
Introduce a new payment method for customers;
Introduce fees for foreign nationals who are in the UK for a limited period to transfer their limited leave to remain stamp into a new passport or travel document;
Introduce separate travel documents for children.
