I get so embarassed by the British Gov. The price of a visa for Spain is around 4,000 P.

A British passport, in Spain is almost 200 euros, a Spanish ten year passport is 16.95 euros. Also, a Spaniard gets his/her passport at the National Police in the nearest major town.

VFS is also the reason ,why british embassy increased the fee,they have to pay the agency :cwm24: let say 50/50 :Cuckoo: just silly thought..but if it is considerable reason ,then great :rolleyes:

That's strange, we paid 46,350 for Fiancee Visa last August. Didn't realise prices ever went down. Is Phils in deflation? Surely it's not linked to Sterling exchange (?) :Erm::Rasp::doh

In Spain the cost of re-newing a UK passport has gone down a little because of the exchange rate against the euro (info from Brit Consul, Malaga). So it may apply to other things elsewhere too.

Guys/girls...
Wouldn't hold your breath on the price falling.

Remember .... the stable part is the £585 cost of the fiancee visa
The "variable" part is the £/peso Forex rate...
.... which the Embassy in Manila amend/adjust monthly.

And .... looking at the current quoted prices over 1m, 2m & 3mnths
£/US$ is looking very stable...
and the peso is looking to weaken vs US$...

... so... meaning that these "prices" are likely to be with us for quite
a few months.
