ILR Fee Refunds: Can You Get Your Money Back?

ILR Fee Refunds

ILR is a major accomplishment for many people seeking permanent residency in the UK. On the other hand, achieving this is expensive. ILR fees are some of the highest cost elements within the UK immigration system, hence usually creating financial pressure on applicants. With all this, many are curious about the possibility of getting a refund for the fees charged, especially during withdrawals of applications, refusals, or special cases. This article is to give you an in-depth study of ILR fee refunds, eligibility, and conditions upon which you can reclaim your money.

What are ILR Fees?

One should elucidate the ILR fee structure before moving forward and stating the refund scheme. Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK is granted as a status to the individual, provided certain conditions for residency and immigration within the country are met. Even after the acceptance of ILR, a person is allowed by law to stay within the UK but is liable to an application charge.

As of 2024, the cost of the ILR for a sole applicant is £ 2,885. However, this does not include any additional fees for biometric appointments, legal representation, or priority services. Thus, applicants may worry about whether they can get a refund if their application does not go through according to plan.

This video explains how to get ILR if you are on a skilled worker visa.


<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/oheiFYFSuDo?si=yyYnFfqt7pStbjx9″ title=”YouTube video player” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share” referrerpolicy=”strict-origin-when-cross-origin” allowfullscreen></iframe>

Can You Get a Refund for ILR Fees?

The short answer is yes, but only under very limited circumstances. ILR fees are generally a once-paid affair, although they are processed regardless of their outcome. However, there are certain circumstances under which a refund can be claimed.

1. Withdrawal Before Processing

Perhaps one of the most simple ways of getting a refund for the ILR fee is withdrawing your application prior to it having been processed. This may also apply when the Home Office hasn’t begun to consider your case. Thus, the money could be refundable. Again, here is a point in time. Once the process starts, you can forget to get the fees back.

To withdraw an application, applicants must contact the Home Office immediately and provide all relevant details regarding their ILR application. If the withdrawal request is successful, the Home Office may refund the full amount paid in ILR fees.

2. Duplicate Payments

This will be another case whereby a double charge on an applicant resulting from a mistake or due to technical errors caused by duplication will be refunded. Such would occur if an applicant mistakenly submits the fee for a second time through the same portal. In such a situation, the applicant can contact the Home Office for a refund of the overpayment. Applicants will only have their money refunded, provided that they can provide proof of the duplicate transaction.

3. Home Office Mistakes

Even fewer scenarios exist whereby a refund could come forth due to a Home Office mistake, such as when they process an application which technically should not have been so considered or charging wrong fees on an application. If the Home Office recognises a problem with their decision, they could sometimes refund applicants, though there are very few cases, and such evidence must be so huge towards supporting the claim.

4. Denied Applications

Unfortunately, ILR fees cannot be refunded if your application is refused. The fees charged for processing and reviewing your application make it non-recoverable once the Home Office begins assessing your case. This is regardless of whether the refusal is due to minor errors or because of missing documents.

To minimise refusal risk, the applicants are to adhere strictly to eligibility criteria. Proper documentation, including an understanding of guidelines governing their applications, would ensure low rejection rates.

How to Request an ILR Fee Refund

If you have reason to believe that your ILR fee should be refunded, the procedure is largely to get in touch with the Home Office and formally request its refund. Here are the simple steps:

  1. Contact the Home Office: The contact details are on the Home Office website or in the confirmation email you receive when you submit your application.
  2. Offer Supportive Evidence: Gather all the evidence related to your refund request, including documentation of double payments, records of withdrawals, or other messages from the Home Office stating that their own error caused this request.
  3. Follow-up Requests: These take a few months, so prepare for follow-ups with the Home Office on cases.

Exceptional Circumstances and Refunds

The Home Office refund policy is reasonably strict, but there are situations where exceptional circumstances can prevail. For example, when an applicant experiences unforeseen hardships, such as medical emergencies or financial crises. In such cases, applicants often try to appeal for leniency, but such cases usually are dealt with on their own merit, and successful cases are very few.

ILR fees are designed in a non-refundable structure to cover the administrative cost of the fee. This should be done before filing the ILR process in order not to face some unexpected financial difficulties.

Why Choose Professional Legal Support?

As complicated and expensive as ILR processing is, its value warrants approaching this process with great accuracy. Application errors result in loss of fees and ILR, delayed cases, and refusals. Professional immigration solicitors can ensure that the process meets all criteria.

A Y & J Solicitors has the expertise of professionals who have vast experience in UK immigration law, including ILR applications. We know how much money you are putting into this and are here to help you get the best possible outcome. We will advise you on eligibility, documentation, and refunds if necessary.

Can you get your ILR fees back?

While ILR fees are generally non-refundable, there are exceptions in cases like withdrawal before processing, duplicate payments, and Home Office errors. The Home Office still runs a very strict policy towards refunds, which limits eligibility. The best way to handle the application is to be meticulous in order not to lose your ILR fees. If you need professional help for your Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK application, then A Y & J Solicitors can assist you. Our team of experts will guide you through this process and ensure that you meet all the requirements as well as minimise financial risks.
