Forgive me for commenting on an old article by Telegraph which run in March this year. The article was condemning Zambian government for the high visa charges.
I am foreign student living in London. My family has paid a lot money for me to be here. Before I was granted a visa, I had to go for a medical check up at a clinic that the British embassy had picked where I paid for tests and the cost was about £50 and the visa by then was about £101. This is not a guarantee that the visa will granted. The money paid to the UK embassy is non refundable.
The night before the interview, I had nightmares because I heard stories the interviews were horrible and that the immgration ask so many questions demeaning questions like ” that zambia is poor nation and that you will over stay in the UK” but what me thinking that if Zambia was so poor why do they still have an embassy in Zambia. I am sure that British government gaining somehow by still in the country.
Please note that British government have increased the visa charges more than once past three years.
