According to the new rules, the cost of a short-term tourist visa for up to six months will rise from £127 to £135.
The cost of long-term visas will also increase: a two-year entry permit will cost £506, a five-year visa will be £903, and a ten-year visa will amount to £1,128. The changes will also affect those planning to study or receive medical treatment in the UK.
Thus, the cost of a student visa will now be £558, while a visa for private medical treatment will cost £234. The changes will also impact transit visas: the fee for an airport transit visa will rise to £74.5.
For citizens of visa-free countries, the price for an electronic travel authorization (ETA) will increase from £16 to £20.
