Fees & time to apply

Yes, Lorraine, you need pay two fees, £151 in total. But this is only applicable to application in person. If you apply by post, the fee is £175. You should apply for it one month before the travel date.

I literally just did my tourist visas. it took less than a week by post I got charged visa fee, a service fee then a postal service fee and then vat ontop of that. Mine was done with my partner and daughters so I cant really give you a price on what a single persons one would be, but for three people mine came out to £525 total.
