[andypaul]

All this to pay for the IND to send visa overstayers text messages to go home

The 2 threads about this price rise have been merged here together.

I have loads of free texst left over each month from my mobile account can i give them to the goverment and get a discount?

It seems a bit big brother. If they have their mobile number can't they locate the phone to the nearest 200meters anyway?

well the page will not open with the prices on , but hell if its gone up iam gonna complain

this made me laugh from IND website 'generating the revenue for the next four years to help fund the transformation of the immigration system, and maintaining the global competitiveness of the UK as a place to work, visit and do business. We believe that those who benefit most from coming to the UK should contribute most to funding the end to end system. The charging system must be fair to those who use the system, in terms of the price paid for the visa and attached entitlements; and fair to the UK taxpayer, who will continue to support the immigration system that brings benefits and enrichment to this country.'

now the gov is not telling me, that to process a visa app, they charged £335 and thats subsidized by the tax payer , what the is going on there?

it talks about fair, how about giving a fair charge to those eastern europeans who come and work here? , 400,000+ came to work here last year and paid their £70 for a work permit and Once you have been working legally in the UK for 12 months without a break you will have full rights of free movement and will no longer need to register on the Worker Registration scheme. You can then get a residence permit confirming your right to live and work in the UK.

it sounds to me its the british citizen whos born here, pays taxes here, and married a non european who is subsidizing immigation for the tidal wave of eastern europeans who come to the UK.
