Visa Fees in pounds or Pakistani Rupees ?

Post by ILR1980 » Tue Apr 05, 2016 10:01 pm

I was checking the visa feea s of settelemt application and it seem they charge it more in Pakistani currency. I have got three dependent i.e wife and twins and it make differnce

FEES IN POUND FOR EACH APPLICANT = £1195

FEES IN PAKISTANI CURRENCY = Rs 185225


1 British pound equal = 148.50 Pakistani Rupees
1195 british pound should be = 17855 even if rate is 149

Do we have option to pay it in pound or in Pakistani currency?

Very unfair. Why they mentioned fees in pounds if we have no option paying it in pounds. Make it easy for sponsor to send documents in sheiffield but need payment in local currency so that they could use wahtever exchange rate they wish

Is this visa fees in Pakistani currency keep changing as rate of conversion going down day by day because of Brexit?

Rate of currency conversion always fluctuates worldwide. There are winners and losers.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Correct. My problem is not rise or fall of a rate of currency conversion . I just want to pay the equivalent of £1195 at the time of application which is 1,649,440 Rupees as per OANDA which is recommended currency calculator of uKBA.

UKBA always charge more when they make conversion of fees from Pounds to any local currency no matter whether pound rise or fall
