Fees and charging: immigration and visas consultation
Download the full outcome
Detail of outcome
On 11 November 2013 the Home Office published a consultation paper on charging for immigration and visa services. This document set out some proposals in relation to how we can continue to charge for our immigration and visa services and reduce the financial burden on the public purse. We are now pleased to publish the formal government response to the public consultation on charging.
Original consultation
Consultation description
This document does not contain proposed fee levels. These will be determined as part of our annual review of immigration and nationality fees.
We are keen to hear from all our stakeholders and welcome your views and opinions on the topics in this consultation. Your responses will help us decide how to use our charging powers to set appropriate immigration fees in the future. They will also help to shape our thinking on the need for different products and services. This will support our immigration and visa system and ensure we can continue to offer an excellent level of service, balancing the interests of those who use our services, with the interests of the general UK taxpayer.
