Coming to the UK is becoming more and more expensive; especially for us "poor Africans"

Wow! Looks like the fees increase "programme" has now become an "every quarter" thing. Good for the Govt. The last one was on the 1st April 2005.

Probably the next one is due in October 2005!

Frankly, I personally don't mind the fee increases at all - as long as their service standards / quality increases / improves on par too!

Ta!

We are actually talking about two different things here. The fees went up as from 1st April 2005 it respect of in-UK visa applications .... but were left unchanged at that stage in respect of out-of-the-UK visa applications.

Now, with effect from 1st July 2005, the in-UK will remain unchanged, but it is proposed to alter the out-of-the-UK visa application fees. I say "alter" because whilst quite a number of the fees are being increased, some are being decreased, and indeed some are staying the same.

Also realise that out-of-the-UK visa application fees are not payable in Pounds, but are payable in local currency in the country of application.
