Fees in force from 8 Oct 2026. A dash means the fee table does not list that case.

The amounts are from the Home Office immigration and nationality fees table that took effect on 8 October 2026. Every fee in that table is unchanged from the 8 April 2026 table.

How the total is worked out

  • Application fee: one fee per person. For most routes the main applicant and each dependant pay the same amount.
  • Immigration Health Surcharge: charged per year of permission, per person, at £1,035 a year (£776 for students, their dependants and children under 18). Part years are explained in how the surcharge works.
  • Skilled Worker fees depend on the length of the certificate of sponsorship: 3 years or less, or over 3 years. The Immigration Salary List and Health and Care Visa rows have their own, lower fees.
  • A faster decision adds £500 (priority service) or £1,000 (super priority service) for each person.
  • Dependants are counted in the adults and children fields. Adult dependants and the main applicant pay the same surcharge rate; children under 18 pay the lower rate.
