Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much was charged in fees for rejected visa applications in each of the last five years.

The information requested could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.

If a visa application is rejected by the Home Office as invalid, the visa fee paid will be refunded minus a £25 administrative charge, as specified in the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2018. If the visa fee paid is £25 or less and the application is rejected as invalid, the whole of the visa fee will be retained by the Home Office.
