UK Visa Fees Reimbursement

On

Dear ALL,

I hope you are doing well.

When I came to the UK to work as a marie curie research fellow (H2020 - IF) I had to apply for a UK visa. I am wondering if my fellowship covers the UK visa fees and if I can ask for a reimbursement. Are there any documents on this, maybe? 

Thank you very much in advance.

Best wishes,

Zaineb
