Visa Application Processing Fees Fees are payable in cash in local currency and are subject to periodic review. 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 an 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 biometric details with their application, then we will refund the fee. These fees are effective for all visa applications made from 01 March 2010. The consular rate of exchange is 1 = Ksh 125. Please note the visa fees are subject to change.  Category Fee ( Ksh) Category: Visit Approved Destination Status (ADS) Agreement with China, up to 30 days only 8400 Single, double and multiple visit, valid up to 6 months 8400 Longer term multiple entry (1 to 2 years) 26900 Longer term multiple entry (5 years) 50000 Longer term multiple entry (10 years) 62500 Entertainer visitor 8400 Family visitor 8400 Business visitor - general 8400 Business visitor - academic visitor (up to 12 months) 8400 Business visitor - visiting professor 8400 Business visitor - religious worker 8400 Business visitor - film crew 8400 Special visitor - marriage/civil partnership 8400 Special visitor - medical treatment 8400 Special visitor - visitor in transit 5800 Special visitor - student visitor, up to 6 months 8400 Special visitor - child visitor 8400 Special visitor - prospective student 8400 Special visitor - parent of a child at school (up to 12 months) 26900 Sports visitor 8400 Business visitor - clinical attachments/dental observations (up to 6 weeks) 26900 Business visitor - PLAB test 26900 Category: Study Dependant of student applicant 18100 Category: Employment Work permit holder 26900 Work permit/HSMP dependant 26900 Off Shore Workers 26900 Overseas domestic worker - private household 26900 EC Business Association Agreement 26900 Sole representative 26900 UK Ancestry 26900 Seasonal agricultural worker 26900 Dependants of any of the above 26900 Vander Elst Free of charge Swiss Posted Worker Free of charge Category: Settlement Spouse/civil partner of a settled person 73100 Unmarried/same sex partner of a settled person 73100 Fianc(e)/proposed civil partner of a settled person 73100 Child or dependant relative of a settled person 73100 Adopted child of settled person 73100 Armed Forces 73100 Family reunion Free of charge Category: Points Based System (PBS) Tier 1 general applicant 84400 Dependant of tier 1 general applicant 84400 Tier 1 general applicant - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 76900 Dependant of tier 1 general applicant - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 76900 Tier 1 general applicant with HSMP approval letter (transitional arrangement) 31300 Dependant of tier 1 general applicant with HSMP approval letter (transitional arrangement) 31300 Tier 1 general applicant with HSMP approval letter (transitional arrangement) - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 28800 Dependant of tier 1 general applicant with HSMP approval letter (transitional arrangement) - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 28800 Tier 1 investor or entrepreneur 84400 Dependant of tier 1 investor or entrepreneur 84400 Tier 1 post study applicant 33100 Dependant of tier 1 post study applicant 33100 Tier 2 applicant 33100 Dependant of tier 2 applicant 33100 Tier 2 applicant - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 30600 Dependant of tier 2 applicant - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 30600 Tier 4 (general) student applicant 18100 Dependant of tier 4 (general) student applicant 18100 Tier 4 (child) student applicant 18100 Tier 5 applicant (temporary worker) 15600 Dependant of tier 5 applicant (temporary worker) 15600 Tier 5 applicant (temporary worker) - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 13800 Dependant of tier 5 applicant (temporary worker) - national of Croatia, Turkey or FYR Macedonia 13800 Tier 5 applicant (youth mobility scheme) 15600 Chevening Scholarship or Fellowship Free of charge British Marshall Scholarship Free of charge Fulbright Scholarship Free of charge Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships Plan Free of charge Category: Exempt Diplomats: official visit/posting Free of charge Members of international organisations on official visits Free of charge Member of UK or visiting forces Free of charge Category: Others Exercise the right of access to a child 26900 Parent/primary carer of an EEA national child 26900 Returning resident 26900 Right of Abode Certificate of Entitlement 26900 Course F 8400 Vignette transfer 9400 Handling applications on behalf of Commonwealth Countries/Overseas Territories 8900 Forwarding documents to Commonwealth Countries/Overseas Territories (additional fee) 7900 Joining ship/aircraft 5800 Direct Airside Transit (DAT) 5800 Family member of an EEA national Free of charge Family member of a Swiss national Free of charge Turkish nationals to establish in business Free of charge Visa application fees are set in sterling by the British Government and are the same world wide.
