What is a Home Office Fee Waiver?
A Fee Waiver allows eligible applicants facing financial hardship to request exemption from paying Home Office immigration application fees.
Fee Waivers are commonly available for applicants applying under family life, private life and human rights-based immigration routes within the United Kingdom.
Applicants must demonstrate that paying the application fees would leave them unable to meet essential living needs or would place them at risk of destitution.
Legate Hub provides professional assistance with eligibility assessments, financial evidence preparation, supporting declarations and Home Office submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply for a Fee Waiver if I have no income?
Yes. Applicants experiencing unemployment, financial hardship or reliance on support may still qualify if sufficient evidence is provided.
What evidence is normally required?
Applicants commonly provide bank statements, tenancy agreements, utility bills, proof of income and supporting declarations explaining their financial circumstances.
Can I submit my Leave to Remain application before the Fee Waiver decision?
No. The Home Office normally requires the Fee Waiver request to be decided before the main Leave to Remain application is submitted.
