application fee exemptions

[ens]

hi, all

are there any ways to make HO move ?

Exemption
In accordance with the 1961 Council of Europe Charter or the 1996 European Social Charter (revised), nationals of countries which have signed and ratified the charter are exempted from the requirement to pay the fee for FLR(IED) and FLR (HSMP) applications. Therefore, individuals making applications for IED LTR who are nationals of Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Moldova, Romania and Turkey will be exempt from the charge.

Details of further countries who sign and ratify the Council of Europe Charter or the European Social Charter (revised) and subsequently become exempt, will appear on this website.


but it takes sometimes up to 1,5 years ( from the date of ratification and coming in force ) for HO to add the country to the list of such countries on the HO website.

why does it take so long?

who is in charge of such website changes? webmaster? some executives?

best regards
