There are breathtaking increases on the settlement side (which do not concern us), but they have introduced new fees for applicants wanting to use their premium services. Here's a screen shot...
Columns with an 'n/a' indicate that the service has been free of charge (or did not exist) and most of them have to do with status checking. End-users who are constantly checking the status of their application now have to pay for it by the minute.
They have also introduced a cost for their 'mobile premium service'. This is where a van and ECO come to the applicant's residence and collect the biometrics and issue the visa straight-away. This service is available only in selected countries.
Finally, the cost to have your own Immigration Officer in a private area of the airport (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, and Manchester) is unchanged. The fee given is from the Home Office, the airport levies additional fees.
