Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the oral contribution by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury on 13 July 2023, Official report, column 526, what the changes to immigration fees will be.

The cost of most work and visit visas will increase by 15%. The cost of study visas, certificates of sponsorship, settlement, citizenship, wider entry clearance and leave to remain visas, and priority visas will increase by at least 20%.

We will also equalise costs for students and for those using a priority service so people pay the same whether they apply from within the UK or from outside the UK.

We will lay Regulations in the Autumn that will set out the specific changes to immigration and nationality fees in more detail.
