The costs will depend on where you apply for a visa. If you apply for a visa remotely through one of British visa centres, an application fee will be lower:
Child Student visa – £348 if you apply for it outside the UK, £475 if you apply for it inside the UK.
Student visa – £348 if you apply for it outside the UK, £475 if you apply for it inside the UK.
Parent of a Child Student – £516 in both cases.
If your application is rejected due to mistakes in the application form or missing documents, an application fee won’t be refunded. That’s why it is so important to get assistance from a qualified immigration advisor.
Apart from an application fee, you will have to pay an Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS). For children below 18 years old and students, it amounts to £470 for each year of stay in the UK and £624 for all other applicant categories. If your application is rejected, IHS will be refunded.
All fees are paid upon submitting your application.
