In some cases, if an applicant cannot pay the fee for their application to remain in the UK because they are destitute or may become destitute as a result of paying the fee, they can use the on-line form to request a fee waiver.

Who is eligible for a fee waiver:

The applicant who has demonstrated, by way of evidence, that they are destitute. The scenarios that would justify the conditions of destitution are:

Condition #1: They do not have appropriate accommodation to live (whether or not their other essential living needs are met), or they have accommodation but cannot meet their other essential living needs.

Condition #2: Where the applicant provided evidence that, although none of the destitution criteria apply, there are exceptional circumstances in their case that justify the grant of a fee waiver.

Condition #3: Any individual circumstances raised will be considered. These may relate to age, gender, disability, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or the same issues relating to any dependent family member. Individual circumstances can also include caring or childcare responsibilities.

A fee waiver request may be made only if an applicant is applying to remain in the UK for one of the following applications:

1. Under the 5-year partner route.
2. For leave to remain under the 10-year partner, parent or private life route.
3. On human rights grounds, and
4. For discretionary leave (DL).

It is advised that applicants must submit their fee waiver request before applying for any types of leave to remain application.

Home Office caseworkers will normally expect to see information and evidence relating to the applicant’s income, their accommodation, the type and adequacy of this, and the amount of their rent/ mortgage or of their contribution towards this, and their outgoings in terms of spending on things like food, utility bills.

This information should be supported by independent evidence, such as their pay slips, bank statements, tenancy agreement, utility bills.

A checklist will automatically generate upon completion of all required sections of the on- line form. The list of documents required to be sent to the designated address set out within the checklist depends upon the information relied upon in response to questions asked.

If an applicant qualifies for a fee waiver, they will be told by letter. This letter will include a personalised code that an applicant will enter in their application for leave to remain that shows which fee waiver they have qualified for when applying for leave to remain application.

The fee waiver request may be refused if the applicant has not provided sufficient evidence of income, outgoings, and overall financial circumstances.
