新的签证费于3月18号开始实施,以往都是4月6号开始的,这次怎么这么迫不及待。
主要是:
- 面签费用由以前的400镑,变成500镑了。
- 永居,国籍申请费增加了25%
A full list of the new fees can be found:

The new legislation will come into effect on 18 March (6 April for the Isle of Man).
The main changes are:
•visas linked most closely to economic growth, such as those offered to workers and students, will be increased by 2%
•a 2% increase will apply to all visit visas to help maintain the UK’s position as one of the world’s top tourist destinations
•an increase of up to 25% will apply to settlement, residence and nationality fees, as these routes deliver the most benefits to successful applicants
•an increase of up to 33% for optional premium services offered by the Home Office such as the super premium service and priority visa services overseas
Fees for all sponsorship categories will be held at the current rates.
These changes ensure that the Home Office can achieve a self-funding system, whilst continuing to provide a competitive level of service, and a fees structure that remains attractive to businesses, migrants and visitors.
