Our application forms change periodically. If you obtain this form some time before applying,
please check that it is still the version which must be used when you are ready to apply.
To apply in person, you must make an appointment. Alternatively, you may wish to use the
Settlement Checking Service operated by a number of local authorities which is generally a
faster service than the normal postal application process. Please see the Home Offices website
to see if you can use this service when applying on this form.
The applications which may not be made in person are those in the following categories/
routes: Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant; Tier 1 (Investor) migrant; Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant,
accelerated; Tier 1 (Investor) migrant, accelerated.
Applications can be made in person at a Premium Service Centre for a same day consideration
of your application. There is an additional fee for this service and all fees will be taken when you
book an appointment. You can only make on-line or in person payments by using one of our
accepted credit or debit cards (see below). For more details and to book an appointment please
visit www.gov.uk/ukvi-premium-service-centres
If one or more dependants are applying with you, the fee for each dependant applying is shown
in the table below.
For more information about the current fees, please see the latest SET(O) guidance notes.
Please note that your application will be rejected as invalid if you do not pay the specified fee.
We cannot begin the consideration process until the payment has cleared. We allow 5 working
days for payments made by cheque to clear. Credit/debit cards and postal orders will clear
immediately.
The fee charged is for the processing and consideration of the application. This fee will be
payable once the application form is received by the Home Office, or its payment processing
agent, regardless of the outcome of the application. If your application contains errors or is
missing information it may be rejected as invalid. Your application will not be considered and
your fee will be refunded less an administration fee of 25 for each person included in the
application.
If you are claiming an exemption from paying the fee because you are applying to stay in the UK
under European Convention on Human Rights Article 3 medical grounds, tick the box at item 5
on page 7 to confirm this.
If you are claiming an exemption from paying the fee because you are a child under the age of
18 in the care of social services at the time of application, tick the box at item 5 on page 7 to
confirm this.
If you are applying under one of the above categories, failure to tick the box at item 5 on page 7
will result in your application being rejected if you have not sent a fee.
Applicants on some immigration routes are exempt from paying an enrolment fee at the Post
Office Ltd. If you are in one of these categories, you will be informed of this when we send you a
biometric notification letter.
Your application may be rejected as invalid if you do not enrol your biometrics when requested.
For more information about enrolling biometrics and the current fee, please visit the following
section of our website: www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits

value (CVV). It consists of the last three numbers on the signature strip on the back of the card
as shown below.
Please note that when making large or multiple payments using your credit card, the anti-fraud
measures that banks operate sometimes stop the full payment being taken. This is can happen
for a number of reasons. To prevent this, you may inform your bank of your intention to make
large or multiple payments in advance so that your bank allows the full payment to be taken
when you submit your application.
