안녕하세요?
현재 영국 현지에서 비자 연장등을 하는 경우에 신청비용은 우편 접수는 155 파운드이며 방문 접수는 250 파운드(학생등의 경우)입니다. 하지만 현재 발표된 것에 의하면 2005년 4월 1일 기준으로 이 비용이 상향 조정이 될 것이라고 하며 그 액수는 정해지지 않았습니다.

아래에 관련한 홈오피스 발표 내용을 첨부하오니 참고하시기를 바라며 아래 내용에 보면 학생비자와 관련한(또는 이와 비슷한 경우) 비자는 프리미엄(방문접수)서비스 비용이 430 파운드에서 495 파운드 사이로 인상이 될 것이라고 합니다.

영국 현지에서 비자 신청할 때에 소요 되는 비용은 현재는 동반비자인 경우 즉 신청서 하나당 비용을 지불하도록 하고 있습니다. 한국은 각 개인별 지불을 하는 것과 차이가 있습니다.

fees for foreign nationals using immigration services will be increased in april 2005 in a move that could save uk taxpayers £100 million in 2005-06, home office minister des browne announced today.

the government is also consulting businesses and other stakeholders on proposals to include appeal and enforcement costs, as part of the overall fee, for the first time. this will ensure that those who benefit from immigration services pay for the cost of delivering them, rather than uk taxpayers. over £70 million has already been raised through charging in 2003-04 - costs that would previously have been borne by taxpayers.

the consultation shows the impact of the appeal and enforcement costs on charges for the following immigration applications:

charges for foreign nationals working in the uk who need to extend their stay (eg work permit holders) may increase from £121 to between £265 and £300. also leave to remain fees for those who need to extend their stay in the uk, such as students and spouses, may rise from £250 for a premium service to between £430 and £495.
fees for the sectors based scheme, which meets recruitment needs in hospitality and food processing, may rise from £153 to between £230 and £270;
highly skilled migrant programme fees may rise from £150 to between £320 and £375;
travel document fees for those who cannot get or use a passport from their own country could range from £25 to £270 depending on which type of document is applied for.

mr browne said:

"it is clearly in our interest to welcome genuine overseas students and workers with the skills we need to contribute to the uk and our economy. however these benefits are reciprocal. it is only right that those who benefit from the immigration service meet the costs of providing it.

"the fees we are proposing are proportionate and necessary to ensure that we can deliver a self-financing migration programme which continues to provide an efficient service to its customers, while regulating entry and taking action against those who do not have a right to be here."

the government is also consulting on proposals to:

introduce a new payment method for customers;
introduce fees for foreign nationals who are in the uk for a limited period to transfer their limited leave to remain stamp into a new passport or travel document;
introduce separate travel documents for children.

이동수님 저번에 도와주셔서 감사합니다.
목사인데 동반비자 문의드렸습니다.
덕분에 오늘 비자를 무사히 받았습니다.

그런데,
영국에 4년 거주 예정인데 비자 갱신 수수료가 250파운드이고 더 오를거라는 이야기를 들었습니다.
매번 비자 갱신할 때 마다 250 파운드 혹은 그이상 저희 가족 4명 수 만큼 내야하
