The visa application fees set by the British government for the 2010-2011 fiscal year have been announced. Although the visa application fees are in pounds, applicants only need to pay in the local currency. The new charging standard will be implemented on April 6, 2010. The same standard applies when you submit an application in any country. Please refer to the UK Border Agency website for more information on the 2010-2011 visa application fee criteria. This fee increase will continue until November 2010.
