CHANGE TO VISA FEES

Effective January 1, 2008, the application fee for a nonimmigrant visa to the United States of America will increase from $100 to $131. This change will affect tourists and business travelers, as well as students, temporary workers, and all other non-immigrant visa categories. This is the first increase in the fees for U.S. non-immigrant visas since 2002. It is necessary because of new security-related costs, new information technology systems, and inflation.

Those applicants for U.S. visas who pay the old $100 application fee before January 1, 2008 will be able to have a visa interview at no additional cost if they appear for an appointment before January 31, 2008. Applicants who pay their application fee after January 1, 2008, will be charged the full $131.
