COST OF UK VISA BY MOVE UP

<p>I recently went on a Mediterranean Cruise which included Gibraltar and was told that a 6m UK Visitor Visa will be required even though I told Move Up that the ship is only going to be in Gibraltar for 10 hours, arriving 7am in the morning and leaving at 5pm.&nbsp; Move up forwarded via email the Registration Form and the&nbsp; 4th paragraph of the email read "The cost involved are as follows:- R1,700 Gov Fee non refundable. R1,600 Move Up Case Fee - Full Refund guarantee - covering you in your first time Visa Application". When I asked Move Up for the refund, was told that I have to read the Terms and Conditions so no refund.&nbsp; I also discovered when I went for the interview at TLS in Green Point that the cost of the visa on line or through travel agent is R1,479.00 only.&nbsp; There were other South Africans on the ship who did not have a UK Visa and getting off the ship was no problem. There was no checking and Passports were not stamped. &nbsp; It appears that if you are only passing through Gibraltar, a UK Visa is not required.&nbsp; However, even if a Visa was a necessity, paying R1,479 versus R3,3000 to Move Up ! ALWAYS READ THE SMALL PRINT. &nbsp;</p>
