What is not in the total

  • Travel to the VFS centre for biometrics (Chandigarh or Jalandhar for most of Punjab), the TB test where the route needs one, and the SELT test fee where English is tested.
  • Priority or super priority, chosen at the VFS appointment; the fee is per applicant and non-refundable.
  • Flights, insurance and the first month of living costs, which are yours to budget but not part of the application.

Related questions

Do I need to invest a fixed amount?

No. The old £50,000 requirement was removed in 2023. The endorsing body judges whether your funding is enough for the plan.

Who are the endorsing bodies?

A small list on gov.uk, each charging its own fee and running its own assessment. The Lifeset Overseas guide lists them with current fees.

Can my family come?

Yes. Partner and children can apply as dependants, each paying the fee and the surcharge.
