The UK government is raising the visa fees for foreign workers and students starting in January 2024.
The visa fee for adults will increase from £624 to £1,035 per year, and the fee for children and students will increase from £470 to £776 per year.
This is a significant increase, and it could affect the migration plans of many people.
Employers who hire foreign workers will need to adjust their budgets to account for the higher fees.
Applicants are advised to submit their visa applications before January 16, 2024, to avoid the higher fees.
The UK government says that the increase in visa fees is necessary to cover the costs of providing healthcare to foreign workers and students.
