the government has plans to charge economic migrants £500 more on top of the existing application processing fees the figure is not a final one
the home office has argued that those who want to come to the uk for economic reasons should pay a bit more due to the beneifts they recieve
the estimated money that would be raised is £450m a year

i think this is a good idea if economic migrants want to come to this country for financial reasons i doubt £500 will be much to them
i just hope if it does happen the money gets spent on a sector that benefits everyone
