4 Applicants on some immigration routes are exempt from paying an enrolment fee at the Post Office Ltd. If you are in one of these categories you will be informed of this when we send you a biometric notification letter. Your application may be rejected as invalid if you do not enrol your biometrics when requested. For more information about enrolling biometrics and the current fee, please visit the following section of our website: Who May Apply With You? You may include your spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner and/or children under the age of 18 if they are applying as your dependents. However, they must pay the full specified fee if they apply separately. If this is the first time you are applying for leave in this category you cannot list dependent children over the age of 18 on this form. However, children who were initially granted leave in this category at a time when they were under 18 but who are now over 18, may continue to be included as a dependent child (subject to an adult fee). See FLR (FP) Guidance Notes for more information. The immigration rules for the academic visitor and visitor for private medical treatment categories do not allow dependants, but they may be allowed to remain exceptionally in some circumstances. However anyone applying on this basis should not be included as dependants on an application by the academic visitor or visitor for private medical treatment but should apply separately as a main applicant.
