The new fee levels will apply to most visa types and this time the employers and educational institutions with sponsor licences are also going to be effected to some extent.
The most notable proposed changes in the fee levels are:

• Short term student fees proposed to double from £70 to £140
• Tier 1 Post Study (out of country) fees proposed to rise from £344 to £474
• ILR fee for postal application for dependants to rise from £250 to £486

Tier 2 visa pplication fee for in country applicants is proposed to be set at £550 from £500 and for their dependants to £275 from the current level of £150.
