Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her planned timeline is for waiving visa fees for spouses and children of current and former serving personnel who are of non-UK nationality.

The Government remains committed to supporting current and former serving personnel and their families; ensuring that they do not face any disadvantage due to their service.

The Home Office is actively working with the Ministry of Defence on the manifesto commitment to scrap visa fees for veterans and their dependants and will keep stakeholders updated on progress.
