HSMP is now free for Ukrainians

Post by antontony » Sun Jan 28, 2007 9:13 pm

Good news for nationals of Ukraine, who are applying under HSMP : no more Home Office fees ! HSMP appplications are considered for free, and actually since December 2006, although the update has just only been published on the Work Permits UK (official web site) just now :

Well done, Ukraine !

good luck with your application!

re payment, it looks strange to me, they have two different lists of countries in different parts of the web siet. looks like a mistake.

i am going to submit my application in March, tax return issue.
please, update on your case anyway!

Yes you probably have to pay for EC. But you need to confirm that with the British High Comission. I'm actully an in-Uk applicant so will not be requiring entry clearance. Either way its still money saving and a blessing..
