Planned increase to some Home Office fees announced

The Home Office has announced an increase to some fees, including the naturalisation fee and fees for Certificates of Sponsorship.

The proposed changes are still going through Parliament so there is no date yet for when we can expect these to take effect, though it is likely to be in the next few months.

The proposed changes are as follows:

  • Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) fee rising to £16
  • Certificate of Sponsorship fee rising to £525
  • Naturalisation as a British citizen fee rising to £1,605
  • Naturalisation as a British Overseas Territories citizen rising to £1,070
  • Increases to "a range of nationality services"
