answer text <p>The Home Office keeps fees for immigration and nationality applications under review. However, there are no plans to reduce fees for applications for British Citizenship.</p><p>Where fee exceptions are extended to citizenship applications, these are in very limited circumstances and have been put in place to remedy historical anomalies in nationality law.</p><p>An amendment to the Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Regulations was laid on 26 May 2022 that provides a power to waive fees for child registration applications on the basis of affordability and a fee exception for children who are looked after by a local authority.</p><p>We remain of the view that citizenship is not required in order to live, study and work in the UK as leave to remain confers these benefits.</p> more like this
