Home Office Fee Increases on 4 Oct

Act Now to Avoid Fee Rises

UK Home Office fees will increase on 4 October 2023.

Most work and visit visas will increase by about 15%, while priority visas, study visas, and sponsor certificates will increase by about 20%. The nominal increase in some cases is significant.

Considering these fee increases, Breytenbachs offers two recommendations to our clients:

Firstly, applicants who can and wish to apply for a UK visa should do so promptly.
Secondly, considering the increasing costs, applicants should be aware of the potential financial loss if their applications are unsuccessful. It would thus be wise to instruct Breytenbachs to ensure a successful visa outcome. In this regard, we would also like to remind clients about our No Visa, No Fee guarantee.

It is crucial that clients contact Breytenbachs without delay to prepare and submit their UK Visa applications before the impending increases. With an expected influx of visa applications at the UK Home Office, applying as soon as possible is vital.

Your consultant will be able to advise whether it is still possible to submit your visa application before the fee increases. This will depend largely on the documents required and the complexities of the case. Please do not delay.
