Gentle Update: UK Visa Fees Have Increased
If you’re planning to visit the UK with your family for tourism, to see loved ones, for medical treatment, or for a holiday in 2026, please take note of this important update.
Effective 8 April 2026, the UK government has increased some visa fees:
New Fees for Standard Visitor Visa:
*6-month Visa: £135 (was £127)
*2-year Visa: £506 (was £475)
*5-year Visa: £903 (was £848)
*10-year Visa: £1,128 (was £1,059)
What this means for you:
*Planning early is now even more important
*Long-term visas (2, 5, or 10 years) still give better value if you travel to the UK often
*Proper preparation helps avoid unnecessary stress and delays
