New fee for reconsideration of naturalisation and British Citizenship applications
Visa Bureau is not affiliated with the Australian Government but is a website. Australian visas are available from the Australian Government at a lower cost or for free when you apply directly. Our comprehensive visa and immigration information include immigration advice from registered migration agents, a 100% success rate, document checking and expedited visa processing.
A new fee will be introduced in September for the UK Border Agency to reconsider applications for naturalisation or registration as a British citizen that have been refused.
From 1 September, the UK Border Agency will charge £100 to reconsider an application for naturalisation or British citizenship that had previously been refused and all requests for the reconsideration of these applications must be accompanied by the fee.
Applications that are not accompanied by the appropriate fee will be deemed invalid and will be returned.
If the original decision taken on your application is upheld, the £100 fee will be retained to cover administrative costs.
However, if the original decision made on your application is considered incorrect and your application is then approved, £80 will be retained to cover the cost of the citizenship ceremony (if applicable) and £20 will be refunded.
The UK Visa Bureau is an independent consulting company specialising in helping people with their UK Visa applications to the British Embassy.
