How it works
Cost
Certificates of sponsorship:
The cost of the initial employer assessment and set up plus sponsorship of the first intern would be £750 +VAT. Thereafter, we charge £750+VAT per Certificate of Sponsorship issued.
Visa application fees
Visa application fees will be payable by the Intern to the Home Office when they submit their visa application.
Application Fee
Interns can expect to pay £259 to apply.
Healthcare surcharge
Payable by all applicants applying to extend or switch to a Government Authorised Exchange visa from within the UK, and for all applicants applying for a visa of 6 months or more from outside the UK. The charge is £624 for a full year, or £312 if applying for less than 6 months
Priority Processing – within UK
If you’re applying to extend or switch in the UK you can pay an extra £500 for the priority service to get a decision within 5 working days. You can pay an extra £800 for the super priority service to get a quicker decision.
Priority Processing – outside UK
If you are applying from outside the UK, priority processing fees payable depend on where you are making your application from. You can find details of optional services at the visa application centre in your country here.
