Fees for migrants' visa applications and NHS access will rise 'significantly' to help fund public sector pay increases
The government will help fund public sector pay increases by “significantly” raising fees for migrants’ visa applications and NHS access, Rishi Sunak said.
The prime minister told a Downing Street press conference: “What we have done are two things to find this money.
“The first is we’re going to increase the charges that we have for migrants who are coming to this country when they apply for visas.
“And indeed, something called the immigration health surcharge, which is the levy that they pay to access the NHS.
“So all of those fees are going to go up and that will raise over a billion pounds.”
