Pay for the visa Apply for the foreign visa needs a certain amount of visa expense. Different countries have different charging standard, some are higher some lower while others are free. Generally, the visa fees are the same no matter country "A" issues the visa to a citizen of country "B" or vice versa. The amount of the visa fee is generally marked on the visa though some others are pasted into the stamp tax. When the applicant receives the visa, they will know the exact visa expense.

Generally, you should pay for the visa expense immediately after you get the visa. If you require a receipt, you should make this clear to the officials beforehand.

The visa expense and the visa application expense are different. Most countries only charge the visa expense while some will charge both of these fees. If the visa application is refused, then the visa expense will not be charged. But in some countries, you are required to pay for the visa application up front, and is non refundable should your application is refused.

Generally, the currency of your own country is required when paying for the visa expense or visa application. Credit cards or checks are not always acceptable as alternative methods of payment.

Visa Inspection After you receive your visa, you had better have a careful self-inspection to it. The key point of the inspection is that whether the visa type is consistent with the purpose for your going abroad, whether the period of validity and the duration of staying abroad are clear and so on. In addition, the official's signature and the seal by visa issuing organization are also very important for you to pay much attention to.
