| In the biggest shake up in the United Kingdom's immigration system, Britain has hiked the visa fee for people coming in from India and other Non EU countries.
Under the new visa fee, which comes into effect from April 1, the basic visitor visa fee will go up from 50 Pounds (Rs 4,250 approx) to 63 Pounds.
Student visa fee has been hiked from 85 Pounds to 99 Pounds.
Long Term Visa (including Work Permit and Highly Skilled Migrant Programme Visa) has gone up from 85 to 200 Pounds and settlement Visa from 260 to 500 Pounds.
The transit visa fee would go up to 44 Pounds from 30 Pounds earlier.
The move aims to curb illegal immigrants operating out of the United Kingdom.
Mixed response
IT professionals across the country are disappointed with the visa fee hike.
The hike however, has not affected the spirit of youngsters with dreams of getting a degree or making a career in England.
Many say the hike hardly matters to them as they will be earning in Pounds.
