Immigration

Transparent Pricing

• IMMIGRATION LEGAL FEES

  We deal with various types of immigration matters such as

  • Naturalisation and citizenship
  • Skilled Worker Visas
  • Student Visas
  • Entry clearance applications
  • Further leave to remain
  • Indefinite leave to remain applications
  • Naturalisation/ Registration as a British Citizen
  • Visitor Visas
  • Child Visas

  We always aim to provide fair, clear and transparent fees. We offer only fixed fee options. This means that we will charge you a fixed fee for your case, even if the work on your application takes longer than anticipated, provided that there are no unforeseen complications or significant changes to your instructions. We charge a fixed fee for the whole case or if the case will be dealt with in stages, we will charge a fixed fee for each stage. At the start of your matter, we will tell you what it will cost you. The fixed fee we charge will depend on the type of case or application involved.

• Value Added Tax VAT

  Value added tax (VAT) has to be added to our fees and all disbursements. This applies if your usual place of residence is the UK, including if you had leave to remain in the UK but overstayed. If you are not resident in the UK, or you entered the country without permission or as an asylum seeker and do not yet have leave to remain, you are not normally liable to pay VAT.

• Disbursements

  Disbursements are costs related to your matter that are payable to third parties, such as visa fees. We handle the payment of the disbursements on your behalf to ensure a smoother process.

  Depending on the nature and type of your application, there may be additional expenses that you will be required to pay. This may include Home Office application fees, Immigration Health Surcharge, if applicable, fees for translating any document written in foreign language, interpreter fees if you need one to communicate with us or for interview, independent expert reports, e.g. medical reports. If an interview is arranged as part of the application process and we do attend with you, there will be additional disbursements in respect of our mileage/travel expenses.

For example, the current fee for the priority service in the UK is £500, and for the super priority service is £800. The fee for the standard service depends on the type of application.

  Interpreters’ charges vary, but these will typically be in the region of £25 – £150 per hour (including travel time), + VAT if applicable.

  The Home Office expects all documents to be translated by a certified translator. Translators’ fees vary but are typically around £100 per 1000 words + VAT depending on language and the complexity of the text.

  Experts’ fees vary greatly, depending on the subject matter, but typically range from £750 to £5,000 + VAT if applicable
