Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Palmer (Crossbench). It was answered on Wednesday, 1 April 2009.
Immigration: Iraqi Nationals
- Question
- My Lords, is there a charge for people applying for a visa when they are in fact in Iraq?
- Answer
-
My Lords, most of the visas done at the moment—around 700 a year in Baghdad and 10 a week in Erbil—tend to be for diplomats, very senior officials and people like that, and there is of course no charge. We are looking into how we can get round charging for the student visas because we want to encourage that linkage. As for those going to the other places I mentioned, there is a standard charge.
