It is planned as folows:

HSMP 315 to 400
HSMP LTR 335 to 350


This shall not be a surprise as there is a tradtion they increase fee every other year (every 2 years) normally around April. The £315 and 335 have been there for about 2 years.

Extension after two years= £350
Extension for FLR = £350 (as majority HSMPs will fall Short of few months to qualify the ILR)
Citizenship Test £34
ILR= £750

Naturalisation= £575 + £68 for Citizenship Ceremony

£ 2727

Thanks for the information. No doubt its gonna generate a lot of revenue for UK Home office:-))

I fail to see the logic why HSMP, work permit holders, students, etc need to pay the cost of immigration frauds in the UK ??.

They could do whatever they want because they know that this commuty have no representative who could raise their voice.

Do you guys think that they are not going to change the fees until you reach status of citizenship ceremony. No way

I am sure if you are on the 1st stage(HSMP application fee), by the time you reach the last stage, the total cost will become £5000 (approx). Sorry for any disappointments, but it is true........

It took them almost 5 years to increase the fee, so lets just hope it will take another 5 years am just hasty generalizing

This is not true. They increase it every other year (2 years), normally the beginning of April. I know it for sure for HSMP but not sure about other category.

Have a query on bringing the dependants to UK?

If i am planning to take my spouse and kid, does my spouse need to take the ENGLISH language test?

Is it mandatory for them to go through the test since they will be joining me as dependants.

Please provide suggestions.

[apply4hsmp]

no it is not mandatory for them for any english etc. they can come to UK as long as you are there.
