What we charge for immigration and nationality work, what each fee covers, and the costs you pay to someone else on top.
Last updated
What a fixed fee covers
Every fixed fee below covers the following, unless the table says otherwise.
Initial consultation and assessment of your case.
Advice on the requirements you have to meet under the Immigration Rules.
Review of your supporting evidence.
Preparation and submission of the application.
Advice on the outcome and what to do next.
The figures on this page include VAT. VAT is not charged where you are living outside the United Kingdom, and we will confirm the figure that applies to you before you decide.
Each matter is different, and one sometimes turns out to be more complex than it first appeared. If your fee is going to go beyond the figure we gave you, we will tell you before the extra work is done, not afterwards.

Closed routes, for people who already hold that permission
A route being closed to new applicants does not always close it to the people already on it. Where a settlement window is still open we act on it, and the deadline matters more than the fee, because it does not move.

Fee, including VAT
Appeal against a refusal, and representation at a hearing
Quoted before work starts
All other immigration matters
£500 to £2,000
Appeal against a refusal, and representation at a hearing
The fee depends on the grounds of appeal, the volume of evidence, whether expert or medical reports are needed, and whether counsel is instructed. We will give you a figure in writing before any work starts.
Services we quote individually
These are things we do that do not have a standing fixed fee, either because the work varies too much for one to be honest or because the application is unusual enough that we would rather look at your case first. Named here rather than left off, so you know we do them.

Notes
EU Settlement Scheme, late application for pre-settled or settled status
Quoted before work starts
Marriage Visitor visa
Quoted before work starts
Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession
Quoted before work starts
Different from settlement under Appendix VDA above, and usually the step that comes before it.
Child Student
Quoted before work starts
eVisa problems and UKVI account access
Quoted before work starts
Biometric residence permits all expired on 31 October 2024 and were replaced by eVisas. If you cannot get into your account or your status is showing incorrectly, this is the entry for you.
EU Settlement Scheme, late application for pre-settled or settled status
A late application has to show reasonable grounds for missing the deadline, and how much work that takes depends entirely on the reason and the evidence for it. We will give you a figure in writing before any work starts.
Marriage Visitor visa
Distinct from the Standard Visitor visa above, and quoted separately because the evidence about the intended marriage is what drives the work. We will give you a figure in writing before any work starts.
Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession
Formerly the destitution domestic violence concession. It is an urgent application for a short period of permission and access to public funds, and it is quoted case by case. We will give you a figure in writing before any work starts.
Child Student
Quoted with the parent's application where there is one, since much of the evidence is shared. We will give you a figure in writing before any work starts.
eVisa problems and UKVI account access
The work ranges from a short piece of correspondence to a full reconstruction of somebody's immigration history, so a standing fee would be wrong at both ends. We will give you a figure in writing before any work starts.
Costs you pay to someone else
These are not our fees. They are paid to the court, the Home Office or another third party, and they are payable in addition to the figures above.
Home Office fees
The application fee set by the Home Office, and the immigration health surcharge where it applies. Both are paid to the Home Office, not to us, and both change without much notice. Source: the Home Office fee table.
Barrister's fees on an appeal
Often between £350 and £1,500, depending on the hearing.
Court and tribunal fees
Where the matter goes to a hearing.
Translations, interpreters and expert reports
Charged by the person providing them. We will tell you what is needed before it is commissioned.
