Home Office charges £2,389 for indefinite leave to remain (per person for the main applicant and every dependant) a rise of 25% on 2016-17. It costs £243 to process each application. The settlement visa for an adult dependent has risen from £585 in 2008-09 to £3,250 in 2017-18, an increase of 450%.
