WOW........just did a rough calculation to see how much we have spent on our visa process so far.

Medicals, IELTS + hotel, visa application, skills assessment, migration agent fees, pre-medical report, police checks, some papers certified, passports, photos, getting original copies of certain documents etc has added up to almost £4,000
Plus court costs on top which were about £7,500

Total so far : £11,500

We still have flights, container, up front rent to pay........plus have to sell our house so more fees to estate agent and solicitor there!!!!

Didn't realise how much we've spent........or are still going to!!!

BethandAndrew

Wow.

So far: Vetassess £167 - IELTS £100 - Docs certified £10

to go: Visa £940ish - Medicals £200ish - PCC's £10

So will be about £1430ish I imagine. A little less than yours.
