UK and Australia have increased the visa fees for Indian tourists and students this financial year. This fee has been implemented from April 2025. Due to the increased visa fees of both the countries, students, working officials and tourists will now have to spend more to go to these countries. This increase is going to affect students and working professionals the most.
Let us know what impact this increase is going to have on Indian students. Earlier, students going to Britain had to pay a visa fee of 490 pounds (about Rs 54,238). Which has now been increased to 524 pounds (about Rs 58,002). This simply means that now students going to Australia will have to spend more than before. This is a big increase for students going abroad to study. Because it will have a direct impact on their budget. Let us tell you that tuition has already been increased and the cost of living will also increase.
Bad effect on skilled workers
Indian professionals who work in IT, medical and engineering fields often turn to these countries for better career options. The increase in visa fees can affect their dreams of making a career abroad. Professionals who want to work in these countries will have to pay increased fees on temporary and permanent visas, so they can consider other countries where visa fees are lower.
Impact on tourism
Apart from students and working professionals, it will also have a direct impact on tourists. Britain and Australia are among the favorite destinations for Indian tourists. After the increased fees, it is possible that tourists turn to other countries. However, this can cause economic loss to both Britain and Australia. Because a large part of the economy of both these countries is based on tourism. In such a situation, Indian tourists may change their mind due to the increased fees.
