Visitor visa costs

Understand what your visitor application may cost.

A visitor budget can include the government charge, professional support and optional services. The breakdown above keeps those amounts separate so you can understand what is included.

Why can the total change?

The application selected and the service scope affect the cost. Currency conversion also affects the rand equivalent of charges set in pounds. Optional processing or practical support should be considered separately.

What does a price not tell you?

Paying a fee does not establish visitor eligibility or guarantee approval. The trip and the applicant's circumstances still need to fit the route, regardless of whether an optional service is selected.
