Immigration Minister Damian Green has proposed an increase in visa fees in addition to an increase in application fees for UK-based visas. The changes are likely to come into force from 6 April 2012, providing they receive parliamentary approval. In his written ministerial statement, Damian Green commented: 'It is only fair that those who use and benefit from the immigration system contribute a higher share of the cost of running it - reducing the burden on the UK taxpayer.'
Fees will increase by 2% in most cases, although on certain routes the increase will be higher.
