hello to everyone

I think it was about 50 quid each for my step-childrens' visas.

Ahh ... as Mary Hopkin sang ... back in 1968 [I think! ] ... "those were the days, my friend".

Didn't affect ME personally - since MY Filipina wife happened to be childless - hence my hesitancy about providing an answer to Marie's query. Somehow or other, I'd been under the *delusion [*obviously!] that dependants under the age of 18 could accompany their parent(s) to the UK free of charge ... although uncertain.

same fee for an adult or child , that's why it cost me £4k in fees by the time the misses became a British citizen.

and people from the EU in the UK dont pay, and under EU law a minor is classed as anyone under 21yrs old, while in the UK only 18
