Move Up guides

Understand work and study visa cost examples

Work and study routes can involve different visa charges, permission lengths and health-surcharge treatment. The historic label “points-based fees” does not mean every example shares one charging rule.

How should you read the amounts?

The fee panels use the site’s shared fee data. Rand estimates depend on the applied exchange rate and the listed components; they are not a promise of the rate a bank will settle at. Read the breakdown and its update information rather than adding two totals that include the same charge.

What should your own estimate include?

Consider each person applying, the route, permission period and any optional services. A headline visa fee may not be the whole budget. Discuss the relevant example with Move Up so that the proposed scope and separate charges are clear before payment.
