Visas: Students
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of increases in student visa fees on levels of non-compliance with student visa requirements.
Answered by Mike Tapp
Where changes to fee legislation are made, Impact Assessments are produced which identify potential impacts resulting from the changes. The most recent Impact Assessment which includes considerations in respect of fees for student routes is published here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2026/44/pdfs/ukia_20260044_en.pdf
However, no assessment has been made of the potential impact of student visa fees on levels of non-compliance with student visa requirements.
