Migrant Levy - just over a month before payments due??
 
Hi all, we're ready to pay the migrant levy, £240 for the two of us and just wandered if we need to use the form we recieved with our ITA. It asks for your card details including the 3 digit security, aint to keen on sending this info by post sooooo is there any other payment method. Have any of you been approved but waited a few months before paying the levy and how did you make the payment?

Cheers

Paul n Dani

I've not got that far yet, but a couple of suggestions..
Can you pay over the phone?
Or, if you have to send by post within the UK if you use special delivery then there is the additional option of consequential loss insurance. The standard insurance that is included in special delivery is for a valuable item inside the envelope that gets lost, not what happens once it is lost.
For example I insured our passports for consequential loss when I posted them to NZ House in case I had to rebook flights that we have booked for later in the year.

Hi,

just on the Cost of the Levy charge. Double check it, but I think it has gone up. Pretty sure I had to pay £290 ie £145 each.
