The big news in UK immigration matters this past week was the announcment of a new fee structure for all immigrants, whether you’re applying for a visa for the first time or are already in Britain and need to renew your work visa or apply for British citizenship.
Most of the fee updates are peicemeal – some are only a few pounds more than they were previously. Which isn’t so bad. Though, one must consider that the fees are quite high to begin with.
The most interesting thing to take from the report released today is that they are creating a new visa renewal service for the very rich who can afford it.
For a mere £15,000, you’ll no longer have to bear with the humiliation of having to renew your papers. Instead someone from the Home Office will come to you in person, sort out the forms, take your biometrics and be on their way.
We call it gold plated immigration. Nice service if you can afford it!
