I am planning to move back to UK next year too but $25k to process the visa is way higher than I expected. Does this include flights? Breakdown would be great, thank you in advance!

And it is non refundable if they reject

As per avenged sevenfold

TB test is $900
English test I don't know as wife doesn't need to do one.

I paid $3000 to an immigration consultant to assist with paperwork checking etc.

Flights are definitely not included!

Is this news even accurate? I don't see how they need 4 people to escort her back to Singapore. It's usually here's the airport, there's your flight, get the F out of the country, BYE.

Try being British. It's worse.

Try being British. It's worse.

Especially British with a foreign spouse and young family. Theresa May should be rotting in hell for her actions as Home Secretary, not "running" the country. For the first time in my life, I have no idea who I would vote for in a UK general election - not Cruella de May, not communist Corbyn and not the hopeless Limp Dems.

You know, if you're going through all this paperwork, you may as well just apply for immigration to Canada instead. Cheaper, no massive funds needed in your account, citizenship after 4 years of living there, better public schools, better social mobility, better housing, you retain the Queen as your head of state, no UKIP equivalent, free trade with the EU, and more sunshine hours. What more can one wish for?
