As someone who recently applied for a UK Visa, I was shocked that it cost around $120 for 6 months. A comparable US visa for 10 years costs around $160.

That's nothing. Citizenship costs over £1000.

To be fair, so is a Green Card.

Right, but that is a one-time fee. This is every time you want to visit the UK. Still expensive though.

In UK minimum wage is 7.83. So that's 3 weeks of work at most. It's quite reasonable.
