Visa extension

Was searching the internet regarding visa extension fee and got the shock of my life!!! From 1 Apr 05 onwards, the visa extension fee is 250 pounds by post and 500 pounds if you bring it down in person!!! (Previously 155 pounds by post and 250 pounds in person)

Home Office had actually issued the news on 16 Mar 05

On the 10 March 2005 Parliament approved the increase of fees for the consideration of applications for Leave to Remain, Travel Documents, Limited Leave to Remain for Immigration Employment Document Holders and Highly Skilled Migrant Program Applications. The new fees will take effect from 1 April 2005.

A leaflet concerning applications for Leave to Remain is now available here.

Now the question is do Sam & I pay 250 pounds by post each??? Finally found the answer on the application form which states that 'if dependents are included, there is no additional fee'. What a relief.....

If the visa fee amount is going up any further or the price of air fare is on sale, we are seriously considering a flight back to Singapore to extend our visa from British Embassy.
