Help with UK Visa Expenses

Donation protected
Hello!
My name is Regina Arnau, some might know me as Rey! I'm a Mexican living and working in Glasgow since 2016.
I graduated from Glasgow School of Art, and held a postgraduate working visa for the last two years.
I'm currently in the process of switching to a new visa called "Skilled Worker" since my current legal status ends in August of this year (2024).
The main reason why I created this go fund me is to raise money to pay the expenses the Home Office requires for my new visa, which will help me stay in the UK, where I've built a home and a community for the last 9 years.
As some of you know, the UK GOV prices go up dramatically every few months, and currently are too high for me to save on my own account before my residency expires, at which point I'll be forced to leave the country.

I want to give full transparency regarding the exact prices for this legal process and will be detailed about where that money will go to, since I take this financial help extremely seriously.

Skilled Worker Visa Prices:
  • Application Fee: £825
  • Healthcare Surcharges: £1,035 PER year I want to stay. In the case of my 3 year visa, the total is of £3,105. (Healthcare Surcharges consist of granting me access to the NHS)

TOTAL : £3,930. (100% of the amount raised will be given to the Home Office)
Lawyers/legal help will not be included, since it's a service and extra expense I chose and decided to pay over the last couple of months.

Any help towards this costs are hugely appreciated, and aren't taken for granted. I've been privileged enough to have Scotland opened its doors and warmly welcomed me and helped me grow for almost a decade.

Thank you for taking the time to read my goal!
