Immigration Fees


Our Fixed Fees for Family Visa Applications and Private Life Applications

The quoted fees are for our standard Service. This may vary subject to urgency & complexity of the matter. For urgent submissions, you are advised to contact the office or send an enquiry.

What will your case cost?

Our hourly rates range from £150.00 per hour to £300.00 per hour depending on the seniority of the person dealing with your case. We can also offer fixed fees for certain applications once we have reviewed the position and circumstances.

Our fees will not include any disbursements such as Home Office fees and are exclusive of Value-Added Tax (VAT). If a matter is terminated before completion (for example if you are unable to provide documents requested or you withdraw your instructions) we will charge for the time spent at our usual hourly rates. Any additional work required outside the scope of any fixed fee will be charged on an hourly basis unless otherwise agreed. If such work is required we will inform you and provide an estimate.

Current hourly rates of our staff are set out below:

Grade Description Rate
A Solicitors/legal executives with over 8 years’ experience £300 plus VAT (20%)
B Solicitors/legal executives with over 4 years’ experience £250.00 plus VAT (20%)
C Solicitors/legal executives /fee earners of equivalent experience £200.00 to £220.00 plus VAT (20%)
D Trainee solicitors, paralegals and other fee earners £140.00 plus VAT (20%)

We also offer one-off fixed/agreed fees for advice and assistance. The costs will be agreed before we commence work.

Estimates

We can provide a matter-specific estimate of our legal fees before commencing any instruction based on the expected amount of work and our hourly rates. The quotation will take into account the particular circumstances of the work to be undertaken, whether it is an initial or extension application, the estimated complexity of the matter, the type of matter, the number of applicants involved, and other relevant factors.

Third party or other costs

In addition to our costs, you will be responsible for paying costs payable to another organisation which are incurred by us on your behalf such as and not necessarily limited to:

  • Home Office application fees
  • the Immigration Health Surcharge (if applicable)
  • Tribunal and Court fees
  • barristers’ fees
  • expert report fees
  • interpreter/translation costs
  • our travel costs (if we have to travel outside our office on your behalf for example to a Tribunal hearing or to the Home Office)
  • courier costs

Tribunal appeal fees

Tribunal appeal fees are currently £140 per appellant for an appeal to be decided at an oral hearing (which means that you will have a chance to give evidence in person before a judge). For an appeal to be decided on the basis only of written evidence provided, the appeal fee is currently £80.

Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS)

The exact amount you pay depends on the length of the visa you are given. A visa may last longer than your course of study or period of employment. No VAT is applicable on the Immigration Health Surcharge.

Cost Details
£776 per year For students, their dependants and those on a Youth Mobility Scheme visa, for example, £1552 for a 2-year visa
£776 per year For visa and immigration applicants who are under the age of 18 at the time of application
£1035 per year For all other visa and immigration applications, for example, £3105 for a 3-year visa

Cost for part of a year

The amount you have to pay depends on the length of the visa you are given and where you apply from.

Duration Details
6 months or less You do not need to pay the surcharge if you are applying from outside the UK for 6 months or less. If you are applying from inside the UK, you will have to pay half the yearly cost. For example: £388 for students, their dependants, Youth Mobility Scheme or under-18 applications, £517.50 for any other application
More than 6 months but less than one year Wherever you apply from, you will have to pay the cost of a full year.
More than one year If your visa is for more than a year, you will have to pay the yearly cost plus half the yearly cost if it is for 18 months or less, the cost of 2 full years if it is for more than 18 months but less than 2 years.

Paying for dependants

Dependants aged 18 or over usually need to pay the same amount as you.

Value-Added Tax (VAT)

Value-Added Tax (VAT) will usually be added to our fees and some disbursements. This applies if your usual place of residence is the UK including if you had permission to stay 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 permission to stay, you are not normally liable to pay VAT. VAT will only be applicable where the applicant is domiciled in the UK.

Timescales

Timescales vary for different types of applications. For example, an appeal lodged with the First Tier Tribunal could take up to 12 months to be heard in court. Please see the link below as a form of guidance on other application timescales.
