UK visa fees when traveling with a minor?

Upvote:5

I am filling out an application for a UK visitors visa and I am planning on traveling with my child who is a minor. What visa fees am I required to pay?

If you are planning to travel with a child under 18, you must...

  1. Apply for a Standard Visitor Visa for yourself;
  2. Apply for a Standard Visitor Visa (child visitor) for your child;
  3. Pay for your application; and
  4. Pay for your child's application;
  5. Make a biometrics appointment for yourself; and
  6. Make a biometrics appointment for your child.

What this amounts to, is you and your child must make two full applications and pay the fee for both applications. UKVI has stated that the amount of work necessary to process an application is not dependent upon the applicant's age, so the fee is the same for all applicants.

Notes...

  • They stopped issuing parent/child visas as a single visa about 17 years ago.
  • Fees for the Standard Visitor Visa will increase (allegedly) in April 2016 and (allegedly) October 2016. They are getting the details approved right now.
