Fees and charging: immigration and visas consultation
This consultation looks at various options for ensuring those who benefit directly from the immigration system and enhanced border services contribute appropriately to their costs in the future.
This document does not contain proposed fee levels. These will be determined as part of our annual review of immigration and nationality fees.
We are keen to hear from all our stakeholders and welcome your views and opinions on the topics in this consultation. Your responses will help us decide how to use our charging powers to set appropriate immigration fees in the future. They will also help to shape our thinking on the need for different products and services. This will support our immigration and visa system and ensure we can continue to offer an excellent level of service, balancing the interests of those who use our services, with the interests of the general UK taxpayer.
How to respondThe consultation is open for 3 weeks between 12 November 2013 and 3 December 2013. Responses to the consultation should be sent to the charging consultation team no later than midnight on 3 December 2013.
A separate form for responses is provided with the consultation document; please feel free to provide comments on additional sheets of paper if there is not sufficient space.
