What is an e-visa and how much does it cost?

An e-visa (electronic visa) is a digital visa you can apply for online without visiting an embassy. E-visa costs typically range from $20 to $100 USD depending on the destination country.

Are there additional costs beyond the visa fee?

Yes, there may be additional costs such as service fees, photo fees, courier fees, and travel insurance requirements. Some countries also charge airport or departure taxes. Always check the full cost before applying.

How accurate is the visa cost information?

Our visa cost data is regularly updated to reflect the most current fees. However, visa fees can change without notice, so we recommend verifying with the official embassy or consulate before applying.

How much is a Schengen visa in 2026?

A Schengen visa costs €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6–12, while children under 6 are free. The fee is set by EU regulation and is identical across all 27 Schengen countries. It is non-refundable whether your application is approved or refused, and visa centres such as VFS Global or TLS Contact add a separate service charge on top.

How much does a US tourist visa (B1/B2) cost?

The US B1/B2 visitor visa costs $185, known as the MRV application fee. You pay it before your embassy interview and it is non-refundable regardless of the outcome. The same $185 fee applies to most non-petition-based nonimmigrant categories such as B, C, D, F and J visas.

How much does a UK visitor visa cost?

A UK Standard Visitor visa costs about £135 for 6 months in 2026. Long-term visitor visas cost roughly £506 for 2 years, £903 for 5 years, and £1,128 for 10 years. All UK visa fees are non-refundable if the application is refused or withdrawn.

Are visa fees refundable if my application is rejected?

No. Visa application fees are almost always non-refundable, whether your visa is approved, refused, or withdrawn. The fee pays for processing your application, not for a guaranteed approval. Confirm you meet the requirements before paying, because a refusal means losing the fee and reapplying.

Why do visa fees differ by nationality?

Visa fees often differ by nationality because of reciprocity — a country frequently charges your citizens the same amount your government charges its citizens. Bilateral agreements, EU rules, and visa-facilitation deals can also lower or waive fees for specific passports. That is why two travelers to the same destination can pay very different amounts.

What is the cheapest way to get a visa?

The cheapest options are visa-free entry, visa-on-arrival, and e-visas. Many e-visas cost only $20–50 and are issued online within 24–72 hours, avoiding courier and agency fees. Checking whether your passport qualifies for visa-free or visa-on-arrival access before applying is the single biggest way to cut visa costs.

How do I pay the visa fee?

It depends on the country and channel. E-visas are paid online by card during the application. For embassy visas you usually pay at a visa application centre such as VFS Global, TLS Contact or BLS, or via a bank receipt — the US uses an MRV fee receipt paid before booking the interview. Keep the receipt, as you must present it at your appointment.

Do children pay the same visa fee as adults?

Often no. Many countries reduce or waive fees for minors — a Schengen visa is €45 for children aged 6–12 and free under 6, and several e-visa programs discount or exempt young children. Always check the child rate for your destination, as it can noticeably lower a family's total visa budget.

Biaya pemerintah / konsuler

Biaya inti yang dikenakan kedutaan atau otoritas imigrasi negara tujuan. Tetap per jenis visa — misalnya €90 untuk Schengen kunjungan singkat, $185 untuk B-1/B-2 AS. Biasanya tidak dapat dikembalikan meskipun ditolak.

Biaya layanan / pusat visa

Saat Anda mengajukan melalui pusat pihak ketiga seperti VFS Global atau BLS International, mereka menambahkan biaya penanganan (biasanya $15–$45) di atas biaya pemerintah. Lounge premium opsional dan slot "prime time" dikenakan biaya tambahan.

Biaya biometrik

Sidik jari dan foto digital wajib untuk sebagian besar pengajuan Schengen, Inggris, AS, dan Kanada. Kadang sudah termasuk dalam biaya layanan, kadang biaya terpisah $10–$30.

Foto & dokumen

Pas foto sesuai spesifikasi ($5–$15), ditambah pencetakan, terjemahan, atau salinan bernotaris untuk sebagian konsulat. Kecil satu per satu, tetapi menumpuk pada pengajuan keluarga.

Asuransi perjalanan

Schengen dan beberapa visa lain mensyaratkan perlindungan medis minimal €30.000. Perkirakan $20–$60 untuk perjalanan singkat — dan polis harus mencakup seluruh masa tinggal Anda atau visa bisa ditolak.

Kurir & resiprositas

Pengembalian paspor lewat kurir ($10–$25), dan untuk sebagian kewarganegaraan ada biaya sekali bayar biaya resiprositas (misalnya visa AS untuk negara tertentu) yang mencerminkan tarif yang dikenakan negara Anda sendiri. Mudah terlupakan saat menyusun anggaran.

Komponen biaya	Jumlah umum	Wajib?	Catatan
Biaya pemerintah / konsuler	$0–$200+	Ya	Tidak dapat dikembalikan; ditetapkan per jenis visa
Biaya layanan / pusat visa	$15–$45	Jika memakai VFS/BLS	Dapat dihindari dengan mengajukan langsung bila memungkinkan
Biometrik	$10–$30	Sebagian besar visa kedutaan	Kadang sudah termasuk biaya layanan
Foto & dokumen	$5–$20	Ya	Harus sesuai spesifikasi persis atau ditolak
Asuransi perjalanan	$20–$60	Schengen + lainnya	Minimal perlindungan €30.000 untuk Schengen
Kurir / resiprositas	$10–$25 (+ varies)	Bervariasi	Resiprositas tergantung kewarganegaraan
