Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress his Department has made on waiving visa fees for (a) non UK nationality veterans who have served for four or more years and (b) dependents of those veterans; and whether he plans to introduce such waivers prior to the planned extension of the Armed Forces Covenant Duty to further authorities.

This Government is committed to scrapping visa fees for non-UK veterans who have served our country for four or more years, and their dependents.

The Ministry of Defence is actively working with the Home Office to take this forward.
