How Much Are UK Residence Fees?<\/h1>\n

The fees depend on the visa you choose, and buying a home does not on its own give residence.<\/strong> On the 8 April 2026 tariff, on the most common route, Skilled Worker, a five year visa is \u00a31,618, the health surcharge \u00a35,175 and the settlement application \u00a33,226; about \u00a310,019 in total for one person.<\/p>\n\n

What the fee items are<\/h2>\n

There are four items and three of them are compulsory: the visa application fee<\/strong>, Health surcharge<\/strong>, at the end of the period the settlement fee<\/strong>, and optionally a priority fee<\/strong>. Everyone in the family pays their own fee and their own health surcharge separately; this is the point that surprises people most.<\/p>\n\n

Visa application fees<\/h2>\n

The amounts below are for the main applicant. On the Skilled Worker route the spouse and each child pay the same fee as the main applicant.<\/p>\n

On the Global Talent route the visa stage is \u00a3205, and \u00a3766 where no endorsement letter is required. Student and visitor visas are outside this page.<\/p>\n\n

Health surcharge<\/h2>\n

The Immigration Health Surcharge is added on top of the visa fee and is paid up front for all the years at the time of application. \u00a31,035 a year for an adult, \u00a3776 a year for under eighteens and students.<\/p>\n

On a five year visa that means \u00a35,175 per adult and \u00a33,880 per child. For a family of two parents and one child it is \u00a314,230 in a single item.<\/p>\n\n

Settlement and citizenship<\/h2>\n

When the period is up, the settlement application is \u00a33,226 per person. No health surcharge is paid at this stage. If you then want to move to citizenship, the adult application is \u00a31,709 and the ceremony fee \u00a3130.<\/p>\n\n

The total bill for the five year route<\/h2>\n

On the Skilled Worker route, assuming a single five year visa followed by settlement:<\/p>\n

Item<\/th>One person<\/th>With a spouse and one child<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Visa fee, 5 years<\/strong><\/td>\u00a31.618<\/td>\u00a34.854<\/td><\/tr>
Health surcharge, 5 years<\/strong><\/td>\u00a35.175<\/td>\u00a314.230<\/td><\/tr>
Settlement application<\/strong><\/td>\u00a33.226<\/td>\u00a39.678<\/td><\/tr>
Total<\/strong><\/td>\u00a310.019<\/strong><\/td>\u00a328.762<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n

Citizenship is optional and outside this table. If you add it, another \u00a31,839 per adult arises.<\/p>\n\n

Priority services and the employer's side<\/h2>\n

If you want to speed the decision up, the priority service is \u00a3500 and the super priority service \u00a31,000. On Skilled Worker there are fees on the employer's side too: the certificate of sponsorship is \u00a3525 and the immigration skills charge is \u00a31,320 a year for a large employer and \u00a3480 a year for a small employer or charity. The skills charge belongs to the employer and cannot be passed on to the worker.<\/p>\n\n

Buying a home creates no fee, and gives no visa either<\/h2>\n

None of the items on this page relate to buying property. You do not need a residence permit to buy a home in the UK; equally, buying a home does not give you one. The cost on the purchase side is made up of stamp duty and legal fees, an entirely separate subject. The detail is on our Does buying a home in the UK give a residence permit<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n
