Important note:

Dependants are charged the same fee as the main applicant. All dependants who are travelling must pay the fee whether or not they are included in the main applicant's passport.

The visa application fee reflects the administrative costs of processing a visa application and is not refundable if your application is refused. If a payment has been made and the application is not submitted or if the applicant refuses to provide biometrics details with their application, then we will refund the fee.
