    UK visa fees, IHS and professional support

    The application fee is only one part of the budget. This UK visa cost calculator separates Home Office fees, the Immigration Health Surcharge, optional faster processing and our professional fee, so you can see what each part covers.

    Government application fees

    Your route, application location and sometimes grant duration affect the Home Office fee. Adding family members can mean separate applications and fees; the calculator does not confirm that a dependant is eligible.

    Check official visa application fees

    Immigration Health Surcharge

    IHS depends on the full period of permission and the applicable rate or exemption. For routes that charge IHS, a partial year can change the total. Do not use course length alone as the visa duration.

    Read the official IHS calculation rules

    Fixed Professional Fee

    £500 per application, per person. Government and third-party charges are separate. Your written engagement confirms the work included and any different case-specific fee agreed before payment.

    How to estimate your UK visa costs

    1. Choose your actual application route and location. Applying from inside the UK can have a different fee and grant duration from applying overseas.
    2. Enter the full grant duration where requested. Include additional permission before and after a course or employment. The calculator rounds chargeable IHS duration up to six-month periods.
    3. Add eligible family members and optional processing. Adult and child IHS rates can differ. Faster services are shown only for the route and location supported by the estimate.
    4. Check what is excluded. Budget separately for relevant tests, translations, travel, appointment-provider services and other third-party charges. Confirm the final official fee before applying.

    Spouse visa cost: inside or outside the UK

    A standard partner grant from overseas is normally 33 months, while an in-country partner grant is normally 30 months. When IHS applies, those durations produce different chargeable periods. Fiancé applications, settlement, fee waivers and exceptional grants need their own calculation. Our spouse visa costs guide explains the separate items to budget for.

    Work, study, settlement and citizenship

    The Skilled Worker visa estimate uses standard application rates; Health and Care Worker and Immigration Salary List reductions are excluded. The Student visa estimate uses the student IHS rate, but does not decide dependant eligibility. Indefinite leave to remain and adult naturalisation are separate applications. Child citizenship registration is outside this calculator.

    UK visa cost calculator: common questions

    Is £500 the total cost of a visa application?

    No. £500 per application, per person is our fixed professional fee. Home Office fees, IHS where applicable, and relevant third-party costs are separate. Your engagement confirms the professional scope and fee before payment.

    Why can a 33-month visa have three years of IHS?

    Chargeable IHS periods are rounded up to the next six-month period. A 33-month grant therefore produces 36 chargeable months when IHS applies. Your actual grant, application location, applicable rate and any exemption must be checked. See GOV.UK’s IHS guidance.

    Does the estimate include every biometric or appointment charge?

    No. It does not add a universal biometric fee. Any relevant paid appointment, document-scanning or other provider service needs to be checked separately; optional services and available appointments vary.

    Will paying for priority guarantee a decision by a certain date?

    No. Priority and super priority depend on eligibility and availability, and an application can take longer if further checks or information are needed. These are government processing charges, separate from our professional fee. Check official faster-decision guidance before booking.

    Can I use this estimate as a final quote?

    No. It is a planning estimate based on the selected options, not an invoice or a determination of eligibility. Use the calculator’s verification date and route notes, check the current official fees and ask London Immigration Assistance to confirm any exceptional circumstances.
