Visa Application Fees

Visa application fees per applicant for each of the visa categories are listed below. The Application Centre will not charge a service fee for taking your application or for providing guidance on documentation. This is included in the relevant visa fee. However, they will levy charges for optional services such as home courier delivery.

Please ensure you obtain a receipt/coupon for all payments made.

Important: To demonstrate the value the UK places upon travellers who chose to visit the UK regularly UKvisas is providing the option of a long-term, multiple entry, premium visit visa.

The long-term premium visa includes the following benefits:

allows unlimited entries to the UK, for up to six months at any one time, for the validity of the visa
saves you time - you only need to provide your biometric data once during the whole validity of the visa
identifies the holder as a person known and trusted by the UK government
helps to protect customers from identity theft
prevents mistaken identity (i.e. preventing confusing an individual with another person bearing the same or similar name)
protects the holder against any future visa fee increases for the validity of the long-term visa

A long-term premium visa demonstrates our long-term commitment to our valued and trusted customers. In addition, our trusted customers can apply to enroll in the automatic iris recognition system at UK ports, which facilitates 'fast track' admission by the use of automatic booths, avoiding queues.

Information about automatic iris recognition system is available on the Border and Immigration Agency website. Further information on long-term premium visas, can be obtained from the Visa Application Centre.

If you are not a frequent international traveler and intend to visit the UK for the first time, we advise you to apply for a Visit Visa valid for 6-months only. The decision on whether or not to issue a visa and on the period of the visa's validity is made by the Entry Clearance Officer at the British High Commission.

UK visa and passport fees are set in pounds sterling and converted at the consular exchange rate of £1 = S$2.40
