Expedited UK visas require an additional $150 priority fee paid to the consulate, in addition to the consular fee listed above. For Settlement visas, this is $300. We can collect that fee and pay it to the consulate in your behalf for an additional $5.

Please be sure to always check with your airline for their specific travel requirements.
