All organisations must pay a fee for an application for registration unless the applicant is a person who is:
- Providing immigration advice or immigration services in the course of a business that is not for profit; and
- Does not charge a fee, directly or indirectly, for the provision of that advice or those services and pay a continued registration fee when regulated by the Commissioner.
The fee is dependent on the level of advice intended to be given and, for a level 2 or 3 application, the number of prospective advisers.
The scale of fees is set by The Immigration and Nationality and Immigration Services Commissioner (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2022 No 296.
Fees for organisations seeking initial registration and continued registration are set out below.

Application fees collected by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) are determined by the Home Office under legal powers and must be paid with applications.
The OISC has no power to refund application fees in respect of withdrawn or unsuccessful applications, and refunds will only be made under the following exceptional circumstances:
- where the application has been made in error
- the OISC has in some material aspect mishandled the application or
- a refund is justified on medical or compassionate grounds
