Fees are estimates based on 2026 rates and are provided for general information only (not immigration, legal, or financial advice). Always check official GOV.UK sources before applying. Additional costs for biometrics and document services may apply.
⚠️ Note on currency
- Visa fees are set in GBP.
- If you apply from outside the UK, the Home Office will charge you in your local currency, using their own exchange rate.
- The Home Office rate usually includes a markup of around 4% above commercial rates.
To budget safely:
- Use a standard exchange‑rate calculator to convert the GBP fee into your currency.
- Add a 4% buffer to cover the Home Office markup and any bank/transaction fees.
Official UK Home Office Fee Tool (Beta)
For the official UK Home Office view of visa application fees, you can also use their own calculator:
This is the official tool, but it is marked as a trial/beta service. Use it alongside this guide to cross-check your results and ensure accuracy.
The official UK fee tool also shows fees in your local currency, which can be helpful for checking your expected charge. It only shows the application fee and does not include the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS).
