The All-Important Visa Fee Breakdown: Don't Panic, It's Not Priced in Diamonds
The cost of your visa depends on a few things, like how long you want to stay in London and why you're visiting. Here's a quick guide:
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
- Short and Sweet Stay (up to 6 months): Think sightseeing, pub crawls, and maybe a spot of afternoon tea. This visa will set you back around £115. Not bad for a chance to see the Queen's guard (without getting accidentally poked by their pointy hats).
- The Long Weekender (up to 2 years): Fancy a longer London love affair? This visa is valid for multiple trips over two years and costs £400. Basically, the price of a few fancy cocktails in Leicester Square (though hopefully not every weekend!).
- The Committed London Explorer (up to 5 years): This visa says, "London, you had me at hello!" If you're planning on visiting regularly over five years, this visa will cost £771.
- The Practically a Local (up to 10 years): This is the visa for the truly London-obsessed. Ten years of visits for £963? That's practically a steal compared to the cost of rent these days!
Top Tip: Remember, these are the visa application fees only. There may be additional costs depending on your circumstances, so be sure to check the UK government website for the latest info.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
But Wait, There's More! (Except There Isn't, Really)
That's the basic cost breakdown. Now, all you have to do is fill out the application form, try not to get lost in the labyrinthine streets of London (Google Maps is your friend!), and avoid saying "crikey" unless you actually spot a wallaby (they're not native, by the way). Easy peasy, right?
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
