These fees are fair accurate. Small increase since.

These are from the agency in Bacolod.
I have not used them but their communications were good.

Fee Maximum length of stay
Standard Visitor visa £95 6 months
Standard Visitor visa for medical reasons £190 11 months
Standard Visitor visa for academics £190
12 months
2 year long-term Standard Visitor visa £361
6 months per visit
5 year long-term Standard Visitor visa £655
6 months per visit
10 year long-term Standard Visitor visa £822
6 months per visit

They have a fee to process which was very reasonable.

If you want their details let me know...

 

As I've considered this and parked £70k in an account to show savings. This has to remain untouched for 6 months. The UK makes this all very difficult as of course it would do! When I looked into it, it was a headache to say the least. All sorts of monies along the way and many many years before the final and full OK. There are apparently 200,000 Filipinos in the UK so clearly it can be done. That said I expect most of those were from many years ago and things have definitely been tightened up. Remember that many not all Tories don't like really foreigners and no I'm not joking as in private they tell me so.

I did consider getting the 5 or 10 year visa, can't recall the exact name, but it allows multiple entries but of 6 months max duration a time. You must leave and then return. So come the winter here she or you all can visit the Philippines, assuming of course that you have the flight funds etc.

There are various agencies in London one especially that gaurenteed 100% success and many reviews seemed to confirm this. I researched this a while back. The one I mentioned here was very helpful and knowledgable. If you want this contact pm me.

There are also NHS fees to pay btw.
Post Brexit the UK PP is not such a valuable asset.

I have some other information from an agency in Bacolod which seemed relevant?
I'll dig out and post shortly....

My wife has visited the UK on 5 separate occasions.
All as my then girl friend.
