How to fill in the payment slip
It is very important that you complete the payment slip correctly. Errors prevent the payment being processed and will delay the decision-making process.
Fill in the details of who is making the payment in case we have a payment question. If we cannot deal with the payment, the application and payment are returned to the contact name and address given in section 1.
Your fee if you withdraw your application
Once your application is received by the payment handling service, the fee is charged and cannot be refunded.
What happens if you send duplicate applications
If you send more than one application, each application will cost the standard fee.
