Visa Application Fees
Connect With Us
Dependants are charged the same fee as the main applicant. All dependants who are travelling must pay the fee whether or not they are included in the main applicant's passport.
The visa application fee reflects the administrative costs of processing an application and is not refundable if your application is refused. If a payment has been made and the application is not submitted or if the applicant refuses to provide biometric details with their application, then we will refund the fee.
These fees are effective for all visa applications made from 08 July 2009.
The consular rate of exchange is £1=Rs.85. Please note the visa fees are subject to change.
