Price increase and time

Hello! I have completed my visa yet asking for a friend. He is married, living in the UK and on his second marriage visa out of 3 until ILR. The fee increase just went through and his is due early August! Is there any grace period for people who are due so close to this increase? Thank you! ( thank you also for all your help in my journey as well!)

Do you mean the application fee for the visa itself, or the increase in the income needed to meet financial requirement?

If you mean the financial requirement increase (from £18,600 to £29,000), then he won’t be affected by that as it only applies to people applying for their initial visa… and because he applied for his first visa under the lower income requirement and is now extending that visa, he still comes under the previous rules and only needs to show £18,600 income.

If you mean the application fee for the visa, there’s no leeway on that - he has to pay whatever the application fee is at the time he applies.

For FLR(M), the current fees are:
£1,048 visa fee
£2,587.50 IHS surcharge
Super Priority (if using) £1,000

For ILR, the current fees are:
£2,885 visa fee
Super Priority (if using) £1,000
