HOW TO APPLY

Visa fees

All the fees below are quoted in pounds sterling, but are usually payable in local currency. Please contact info@tavistocklaw.netau.net to find out what the local fees are and how you can pay for your visa.

Dependants are charged the same fee as the main applicant. All dependants who are travelling must pay the fee whether or not they are included in the main applicant's passport.

Fees are subject to periodic review.

Visa fees are non-refundable but if a payment has been made and the application is not submitted or if the applicant refuses to provide biometrics details with their application, then we will refund the fee.

These fees are effective for all visa applications made from 9 April 2009.
