Consultation description
The draft policy allows for government to waive fees for non-UK Service Personnel if they apply to settle in the UK at the end of their military service, provided they meet certain criteria.

The Government welcomes comment from all individuals and groups from across the United Kingdom who have an interest or view on the policy proposal.
