The UK is set to increase the fee for study visas applied from outside the country by 127 pounds to 490 pounds starting October 4th. This will impact many of the over 120,000 Indian students in the UK, one of the largest international groups. The Home Office said the hike aims to equalize fees for in-country and out-of-country applications. Other visa categories like visit and indefinite leave to remain will also see fee increases. The government stated the changes will pay for public services and allow for civil servant pay rises. Indian students make up a major portion of international enrollments in the UK, so the fee jump may influence application decisions.
