The UK has hiked its visa fee for entry into the country to £222, effective April 8, 2026. This increase is part of a broader set of measures aimed at reducing immigration, according to the UK home office.

The new fee applies to individuals seeking to visit, study, work, or live in the UK. The UK home office made the announcement, but details about the specific measures to reduce immigration remain unclear.

The UK home office did not provide further information on the impact of the fee increase on Nigerians or other nationalities seeking to enter the country.
