The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 26 January 2026 to Question 107232 on Veterans: Visas, whether it remains his policy to waive applicable fees for Indefinite Leave to Remain for the spouses and children or current and former personnel who have served for more than four years.

Answered by Ministry of Defence

This Government remains fully committed to delivering the manifesto commitment to scrap visa fees for non‑UK veterans who have served for four years or more, and their dependants. This work is ongoing, and the Department will update Parliament in the usual way once cross Government decisions have been finalised.
