  • Visa Application Fees

    The visa application fee reflects the administrative costs of processing an application and is not refundable if your application is refused. If a payment has been made and the application is not submitted or if the applicant refuses to provide biometric details with their application, then we will refund the fee.

    If an incorrect visa application fee is paid arrangements will be made either through the British High Commission or through VFS to refund the incorrect fee and arrange payment of the correct amount.

    All visa fees are applicable for each applicant (including children). All visas are for multiple entries for as long as the visa is valid. Dependants are charged the same fee as the main applicant. All dependants who are travelling must pay the fee whether or not they are included in the main applicant's passport.

    These fees are effective for all visa applications made from 10 March, 2010.

    The consular rate of exchange is 1 = 2.35 GHC. Please note the visa fees are subject to change.
