Fees & Timelines

Processing speed depends on category, completeness, and screening risk.

Fees and service times vary by visa type, urgency, reciprocity rules, and whether your case requires partner verification or officer escalation.

What your fee covers

The platform combines visa charges, operational handling, and service-layer fees where applicable. Payment confirmation must succeed before appointment allocation or final submission can progress.

  • Visa fee by category and duration
  • Operational and collection handling fees
  • Optional mobile biometric or courier add-ons

What affects processing time

Complete submissions move faster. Delays most often come from missing documents, sanctions screening, interview requirements, medical partner checks, or public-holiday closures.

  • Submission completeness
  • Risk and anti-fraud review
  • Embassy queue volume
  • External verification dependencies
