IMMIGRATION PRICE INCREASES
Proposed Fee Increases:
At the start of 2025, the Home Office revealed intentions to raise fees for several immigration related services, including:
- Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS): The fee for a CoS is expected to rise from £239 to £525.
- Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs): ETAs will be introduced for visitors to the UK who currently do not require a visa for short visits or lack existing UK immigration status (refer to our previous article) – the fee for these will increase from £10 to £16.
- Naturalisation Applications: It is anticipated that the fees for naturalisation applications will increase to £1,605.
