Consult first
Private immigration consultations are free. Corporate immigration consultations are £300. You are never under any obligation to instruct us.
HOW WE PRICE
Expert advice that stayswithin reach
At the core of our practice lies a commitment to our clients’ needs and aspirations. We are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for each client, ensuring excellence in every case we handle.
We recognise that financial considerations play a crucial role in legal matters. We strive to offer flexible, cost-effective solutions so expert legal advice is accessible to people from all backgrounds.
Arrow Legal usually charges fixed rates for immigration work. Costs vary with the complexity of the case.
On instructing us you pay a deposit to open a retainer and sign a contract. If the case is ongoing we issue interim bills towards the fixed fee. In straightforward cases the balance becomes due when we submit the application or conclude your matter.
You are not liable for VAT if you have no permission to live in the UK, if you are a visitor, or if you are applying from abroad for entry clearance. We confirm whether VAT at 20% is payable when instructed.

PLEASE NOTE
Disbursements &Home Office costs
Disbursements and related expenses are not included in our fixed fees or hourly rates. Home Office fees are paid directly by you — we prompt you and help you pay correctly. Barrister, expert, interpreter and court fees may also apply depending on your case.
- Interpreter fees
- Expert reports, where the circumstances require them
- Mileage or travel for hearings, interviews and appointments — deducted from our fees where possible unless costs are excessive
VAT at 20% may be chargeable. We confirm whether VAT is payable when you instruct us, and we agree extra disbursements with you in advance.
Immigration Health Surcharge
The amount depends on the length of the visa you are given and where you apply from. A visa may last longer than a course of study or period of employment.
- £776 per year for students, their dependants, Youth Mobility Scheme visas, and applicants under 18
- £1,035 per year for all other visa and immigration applications
- Applying from outside the UK for 6 months or less: no surcharge
- Applying from inside the UK for 6 months or less: half the yearly cost (£388 or £517.50)
Home Office and court times
We cannot guarantee a timeframe. Processing depends on your circumstances and the Home Office’s current workload. We give a clearer estimate of time and fees after the initial consultation, and will chase the case where we can. Some applications offer an optional Home Office priority service — we will tell you if it is available.
