Entry Clearances: Fees and Charges
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 14 October 2013, Official Report, column 467W, on entry clearances: fees and charges, what discussions the Government is having with Commonwealth countries which levy substantial visa charges on UK citizens entering their territory, to seek an equalisation of such charges across different jurisdictions.
- Answer
-
The Home Office is not having discussions with Commonwealth countries about the visa charges they levy on UK citizens entering their territory, nor about equalising such charges across different jurisdictions. We have made provisions that would allow such arrangements to be reflected in our immigration and visa fees in the Immigration Bill, which is currently before Parliament.
