Payment Information

Restrictions, visa types and application fee amounts, visa types and conditions with no fee required.

Visa applicants, including children, are required to pay a non-refundable, non-transferable visa application fee, sometimes referred to as the MRV fee, before applying for a nonimmigrant visa. The visa application fee must be paid whether a visa is issued or not. The type of visa for which you apply determines the fee amount. Depending on your citizenship and the type of visa you are applying for, you may also have to pay a visa issuance or “reciprocity ” fee. This webpage lists visa application fees associated with each nonimmigrant visa type.

Please note that only the application fees for nonimmigrant visas are listed here.

Although fees are listed in U.S. dollars, payment must be made using local currency. You can pay your fee at any Commercial Bank location. More information about payment options is here . To find a Commercial Bank branch, click here .

Your visa application fee is non-refundable and you cannot transfer it to another person. You will receive a receipt after paying the application fee. As a result of the suspension of routine consular operations due to COVID-19 in early 2020 and the U.S. Department of State’s ongoing efforts to restore all routine visa operations as quickly and safely as possible, the Department has temporarily extended the validity of visa application fees until September 30, 2023.  If you have not scheduled a visa appointment by that date, your fee will expire and you will forfeit the right to use the fee for a visa application.

• Applicants for A, G, C-2, C-3, NATO, and diplomatic visas (as defined in 22 CFR 41.26);
• Applicants holding J visas and who are participating in certain official U.S. Government-sponsored educational and cultural exchanges;
• Replacement of a machine-readable visa within one year of visa issuance, when the original visa was not properly affixed or the visa needs to be reissued through no fault of the applicant;
• Applicants exempted by international agreement, including members and staff of an observer mission to United Nations Headquarters recognized by the UN General Assembly, and their immediate families;
• Applicants traveling to provide certain charitable services;
• U.S. Government employees traveling on official business; and,
• A parent, sibling, spouse or child of a U.S. Government employee killed in the line of duty who is traveling to attend the employee's funeral and/or burial; or a parent, sibling, spouse, son or daughter of a U.S. Government employee critically injured in the line of duty for visitation during urgent treatment and convalescence.

In some cases, additional visa fees are paid directly to the National Visa Center, to the U.S. Embassy or to the Department of Homeland Security.

Nonimmigrant Visa Issuance ("Reciprocity") Fees

Applicants from certain countries may be required to pay a visa issuance fee after their application is approved. These fees are based on "reciprocity" (what another country charges a U.S. citizen for a similar-type of visa). The United States strives to eliminate visa issuance fees whenever possible, however, when a foreign government imposes these fees on U.S. citizens for certain types of visas, the United States will impose a "reciprocal" fee on citizens of that country for similar types of visas. The Department of State's website has more information about visa issuance fees and can help you determine if an issuance fee applies to your nationality.

The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is an Internet-based system that tracks F, M, and J visa participants (and their family members) from the time they receive their initial documentation (either an I-20 or a DS-2019) until they graduate/leave school or conclude/leave program.

F, M and J visa principal applicants: Check with your U.S. school to make sure your information has been entered into SEVIS. You will need to pay a separate SEVIS fee in addition to the visa application fee. For nonimmigrant students with Form I-20, the SEVIS fee is US$350. DHS will maintain the $35 I-901 SEVIS Fee for J exchange visitors in the au pair, camp counselor, and summer work travel program participant categories, but the full I-901 SEVIS Fee for other J exchange visitors is now $220. Proof of payment is required before your student or exchange visitor visa will be issued. Instructions for paying the SEVIS fee can be found here .

SEVIS Fee Exception

Applicants participating in a U.S. Government sponsored program (programs whose codes begin with G-1, G-2, G-3, G-7) are not required to pay the SEVIS fee.

Blanket L Fee (Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee) First-time principal applicants who are covered under a blanket petition for L status must pay a Fraud Prevention and Detection fee of US $500. This fee should be paid to the cashier at the Consular Section on the day of the interview. If a subsequent L-1 visa application is based on a new Form I-129S, the Fraud Prevention and Detection fee must be collected again.

Qatar Visa on Arrival: Eligibility and costs

Planning a trip to Qatar? You might be in luck with visa requirements! If you're from one of the eligible countries for visa-free entry or a Qatar Visa on Arrival , you're all set.

Otherwise, a Qatar eVisa through the official Hayya platform or via our app is your go-to option.

Ready for Qatar? Let's get started!

Can I get a visa on arrival in Qatar?

It's good to know that the Qatari government has changed the term from Visa on Arrival to visa-free entry . However, the entry process is the same. On arrival you'll receive, if eligible, a stamp in your passport that authorizes a short stay for tourism or business.

If you're from one of the countries on this list you can get visa-free entry and don't need to pre-apply for a visa to visit Qatar.

The length of stay varies per nationality and can found in the above list.

Visa-free entry for citizens from GCC countries

Citizens of the following Gulf Cooperation Council countries enjoy freedom of movement in Qatar. They do not require a visa (even a Visa on Arrival) under any circumstances:

• Saudi Arabia
• United Arab Emirates

Note: If you’re a resident (not a citizen) of a GCC country, you’re eligible for a single-entry visa on arrival. The visa will only be issued if your residence permit is valid for at least six months. Please approach an immigration counter, present your passport, and pay your visa fee. Your visa will be valid for a one-month stay in Qatar.

Do I need to pay for the Qatar Visa on Arrival?

The Qatar Visa on Arrival is free for most eligible travelers.

The only exceptions are nationals of the following countries, who must pay a fee of QR 100 (about US$27 at the time of writing):

Note that this list can change at any time. To pay the fee, simply make your way to an immigration counter upon arrival in Qatar, and pay by card (some bank fees may apply).

Qatar Visa on Arrival requirements

Make sure to meet the following requirements, in addition to being from an eligible country:

Have a passport that's valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Qatar.

Can show a return or onward flight ticket.

Can present a confirmation for accommodation (hotel or contact details of a local host).

Note: Citizens from Pakistan, India, Thailand, Iran, and Ukraine must book an accommodation via the authorized channel of Discover Qatar for their entire stay. Regular hotel bookings are not accepted to get the Visa on Arrival.

Having (travel) health insurance is recommended, and mandatory for people staying in Qatar longer than 30 days. If that's the case, you must get insurance through the official Qatar website for QR 50 (about US$ 13) per day.

Have proof of enough funds to pay for your trip. Some nationalities are asked upon arrival to show a valid international credit card (such as travelers from Pakistan, Iran, or Thailand) or at least US$1000 in cash.

How to get a Qatar eVisa

If you're not eligible for the Qatar Visa on Arrival , you can apply for the Qatar eVisa instead.

You can apply online via the government website or via iVisa on our user-friendly platform .

How Much Does Schengen Visa Cost. Are you planning a trip to Europe? If so, you’ll likely need a Schengen visa. One of the critical factors to consider when applying for this visa is the cost. Understanding the expenses involved can help you plan your budget effectively and avoid any financial surprises along the way. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the various aspects of Schengen visa costs, including application fees, additional charges, and tips to minimize expenses.

Additional Charges

In addition to the basic application fee, there may be other charges associated with your Schengen visa application. For instance, if you’re using a visa processing service or a visa application center (VAC), they may impose service charges. These charges can vary depending on the service provider and the level of assistance you require.

Moreover, if you’re applying for a visa through a third-party agency or using premium services offered by some consulates, expect to pay extra fees. These additional charges can significantly increase the overall cost of obtaining your Schengen visa.

Travel Insurance

Another essential expense to consider when applying for a Schengen visa is travel insurance. Schengen visa requirements mandate that applicants have adequate travel insurance coverage for the duration of their stay in the Schengen area. The cost of travel insurance can vary depending on factors such as your age, the duration of your trip, and the coverage limits.

When purchasing travel insurance for your Schengen visa application, ensure that it meets the minimum requirements set by the Schengen member states. This typically includes coverage for medical emergencies, repatriation, and medical evacuation, with a minimum coverage of €30,000.

Tips to Minimize Schengen Visa Costs

While Schengen visa expenses are unavoidable, there are some strategies you can employ to minimize costs:

• Plan Ahead : Applying for your Schengen visa well in advance can help you avoid expedited processing fees, which are often higher.
• Compare Service Providers : If you’re using a visa processing service or a VAC, compare their fees to find the most cost-effective option.
• Opt for Basic Services : While premium services may offer convenience, they come with higher fees. Opting for standard processing and services can help reduce costs.
• Choose Affordable Insurance : Compare quotes from different travel insurance providers to find the best coverage at a reasonable price.

By being proactive and mindful of expenses, you can navigate the Schengen visa application process without breaking the bank.

Obtaining a Schengen visa involves various costs, including application fees, additional charges, and travel insurance expenses. By understanding these costs and implementing cost-saving strategies, you can streamline the application process and ensure that your European adventure remains within budget. Plan ahead, compare options, and choose wisely to make the most of your Schengen visa experience without overspending.

Make sure you check your Spamfolder when you expect to receive emails. ONLY follow the official link below and get your Visa from the immigration website. There are plenty of scammers out there.

2. At the Airport / Harbour upon arrival in Indonesia

If you do not purchase the e-VoA before you arrive in Indonesia online, you can still purchase the Visa at the VoA counters at international airports in the arrival halls (or at harbours, if you arrive by boat or cruise ship). Expect long queues at times.

The documents needed for your Visa applications are:

When you purchase upon arrival at the airport or harbour.

YES - regardless of their age. Also infants.

If you don't have a passport but a Titre de Voyage, Refugee Travel Document or similar travel documents, you would need to apply for a B211A Visa. Information and Application 

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do. 

The entire online application service for the Visa on Arrival for Bali is handled 100% by the immigration department. If you run into problems, this is what they said on their website:

"Kindly inform the e-VOA Support Desk (livechat at www.imigrasi.go.id or sending email to [email protected] or [email protected]) should you encounter any suspended or unsuccessful transactions during the request procedure."

Sometimes confirmation emails land in your spam folder, that's the first thing you should check.

Their website seems to be changing rather frequently, and sometimes some features seem to not work on all browsers equally well. What we noticed is, that if you tried to extend a visa and the process failed, it seems you have to then wait one more day to see the extension option again. 

Worse case, if the application fails, you can still get the Visa upon arrival in the arrival hall of the airport (Visa on Arrival).

No , you cannot enter multiple times into Indonesia with this Visa.

The visa on arrival is only a single entry visa. if you leave indonesia and want to come back, you need to apply for a new visit visa..

Officials have now installed new digital Entry Gates to get through the immigration in Bali. There are still counters with Immigration Officers in the arrival hall. But with your e-Visa you can get through the immigration using the electronic gates (if they are working and the officials will not guide you towards the counters with immigration officers.

At the electronic gates, you will scan your passport and once you are through you will receive per email an e-KTE, your Visa Stay Permit. It's a PDF that acknowledges your arrival. 

Because you will not get a stamp in your passport anymore if you use the e-Gate the system will register your arrival electronically. 

If you purchased your Visa upon Arrival (not online) you will can not use the electronic gates and must go to a counter with an immigration officer.

YOU CANNOT GET ANOTHER VISA AFTER YOU HAVE EXTENDED the visa on arrival ONCE (max. 60 days in total), while you are in Indonesia. You would have to leave the country and come pack.

If you want to stay longer than 60 days, you have to get a B211A OFFSHORE Visit Visa (60days) before your arrival first, which is valid for 60 days and which can be extended twice, each extension is valid for another 60 days (total max. 180 days, before you have to leave the country).

B211A Visa Application Service

If you overstay your visa, you have  to pay a fine of IDR 1,000,000 per day. If you overstayed substantially you might be detained, deported, or banned from coming back to Indonesia for a specific period.

There are several travel regulations you must be aware of which you can find here: Bali Entry Regulations
