🚨 UK Immigration Fees Have Increased from Today
The Home Office has introduced new fee increases across many visa, settlement, nationality, and sponsorship applications — with most rising by around 6–7%.

✅ What this means for you

Applying at the right time and preparing early can help avoid unexpected costs — particularly for families and businesses managing multiple applications.
