It is important to note that, applicants who are Chinese nationals applying from mainland China will now be required to pay a £100 application fee, under the Chinese visa scheme.
For those applying for a ‘skilled worker’ visa, there are fee reductions available for those who qualify for the ‘health and care’ visa. The reduced fees can be found in the information provided.
It has been clarified that Administrative Officer, Executive Officer, and Higher Executive Officer are staff grades within the Civil Service.
Additionally, applicants should note that there is an £80 (AED356.81) citizenship ceremony fee that will be added to the application fee.
Moreover, in cases where a minor turns 18 during the application process, an additional £80 (AED356.81) per applicant will be required to cover the ceremony fee. This payment will be requested at the point of decision.
Here are the new fees as per the official UK government website:
