Petition Stop charging extortionate Child Visa fees and NHS Surcharges

Dependent children of Non-EU immigrants are charged same visa fees and NHS levy as adults. It is appalling that child visa fee in a temporary visa category is as much as £1790+ £200 NHS levy/year. They are not entitled to any kind of state benefits in the UK and shouldn’t be charged hefty visa fees

More details

If a Non-EU family of 4, 2 adults and 2 toddlers, needs to extend their stay in UK for 2 years, they would pay £7160 Visa + Biometric fees and £1600 NHS levy. Visa fee is irrespective of how short is their stay, means if an immigrant’s spouse and a child granted 6 months visa they would still pay £3580 in visa fees only. Fair fees are part of business ethics and Governments are also expected to conduct their business ethically. Be ethical and considerate and abolish child visa fees and NHS Levy
