The Border, Immigration and Citizenship System (BICS) is predominately funded by the user and we think it is right that those who use it contribute to its cost, thereby reducing the burden on the UK taxpayer.
We keep our fees for immigration and nationality applications under regular review and ensure they are within the parameters agreed with HM Treasury and Parliament, as set out in Section 68 (9) of the Immigration Act 2014.
