Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has modelled the cost of charging different amounts for those seeking a Hong Kong British National (Overseas) visa.
The cost of Hong Kong BN(O) visas has been set at £180 and £250 for 30 months and 5 years Leave to Remain (LTR) respectively. This takes account of the charging principles set by the Immigration Act 2014 and is based on recovering the anticipated full cost of operating the route, building in uncertainty around volumes.
