UK visa application fees to rise by up to £222 from 8 April
From 8 April 2026 the Home Office will increase most UK visa fees, with visitor visas up £8-£69, Skilled Worker applications rising to £819, settlement visas topping £2,000 and naturalisation fees rising to £1,709. Businesses face higher mobility costs and are racing to lodge applications before the deadline, while critics say the move risks deterring international talent.
