VISA fee raised at VFS

[Ji&Ma]

J ust noticed that VFS silently raised VISA application fee up to 42.120 PHP. Thats about £80 then! What a rip-off
Take a look at this link: http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/visafees.aspx

It's a fixed £585 ... but they re-set the FX rate monthly.

Hence the change month-on-month on a peso basis.

However .. do agree that the fees are far too high

but not lucky for us here for FLR/ILR fee iether

Hello everybody this is the case of my friend. She wasn't able to get the Manager's check but she paid CASH at the bank BDO paying the amount of 36050 pesos, and her appointment will be on April 21, then all of a sudden visa fee increased

Question:

Can she pay the balance at VFS on her appointment? or at the bank BDO?

Yes she can,if the VFS staff ask for it.......but if not ,good for her because when the visa fee increased she already made the appointment
