Fees for Our Legal Services
Below are our average fee estimates for common types of immigration applications. These fees may vary depending on your individual circumstances, including your current location, previous immigration history, the timeliness of documentation, and the volume of supporting evidence required.
Other factors to take into account include Home Office processing times, the potential need for an interview, and the possibility of your application being deferred for further consideration by a senior caseworker at the Home Office.
The UK immigration rules are complex and subject to frequent change.
Value Added Tax (VAT)
Value Added Tax (VAT), currently set at 20%, applies to most products and services provided by VAT-registered businesses in the UK. The fee estimates listed here are exclusive of VAT, which will be payable in most cases.
