Public / Gov withdrawals and refunds

If you don’t meet all the requirements for citizenship, you can withdraw your application and get a partial refund of your application fee. Generally, we will recommend that you withdraw and re-apply when you clearly meet all of the requirements (you will be advised of all your options by letter).

Part of your fee is kept to cover the costs of the initial processing of your application. The table below tells you how much money you will be refunded.
