We have no current estimate for the number of non-EU nationals born outside the UK who have been residing here since before 2008 with settlement visas but who have not obtained a biometric residence permit (BRP).

The fees for immigration documents are set out in schedule 3 to The Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations 2018.

Foreign nationals who are eligible to apply under the domestic violence provisions may, if proven to be destitute, apply for a fee waiver to lodge an application which, if granted, will result in a BRP without being charged.
