How much does a Youth Mobility Visa cost?

Please note that the below fees are estimates only. The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) increase their pricing frequently. In addition to these increases the UKVI charges in GBP, which affects the daily AUD-GBP exchange rate.

Visa fee:                       AUD $455

IHS fee:                        AUD $1740

Biometrics fee:           AUD $110 (only applies to Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra)

Priority fee:                  AUD $420

Restless World fee:     AUD $299

Why should I use a Visa agency such as Restless World to get my visa?

As you can see in our above breakdown of the visa cost, the total cost of the YMS visa can quickly add up to AUD $2195 and that doesn't include the biometric fee or priority. The UKVI will not contact you to seek clarification for your Visa application if something is missing or something was not completed correctly. All the UKVI will do is send you a refusal letter and you have to start the whole process again and pay all the fees again. An agency like Restless World provides you insurance with a 'No Visa = No Fee' guarantee. Let the experts lodge your application. Don't take the chance!
