The non-refundable MRV fee is USD 185 for B1/B2 tourist and business visas. ESTA (Visa Waiver Program countries) costs USD 21. Some categories differ — E-series visas are USD 315. Additional reciprocity fees may apply depending on your nationality. All fees are paid online before the interview.

Processing takes 2–12 weeks after the interview. However, getting an interview appointment at high-demand posts (Lagos, Delhi, Bogota) can take 6–18 months. Always check the wait times tool at travel.state.gov for your nearest embassy before planning travel.

The DS-160 application form is completed online at ceac.state.gov. However, the interview — including biometrics — requires an in-person appointment at a US Embassy or Consulate. There is no fully virtual US visa process. Approved visas are mailed or collected after the interview.

You can file Form I-539 with USCIS before your authorised stay (I-94 date) expires. Extensions are not guaranteed, take months, and require compelling reasons. Overstaying even one day after your I-94 expiry can result in multi-year bars on re-entry.

eTA (visa-exempt nationals flying): CAD 7. Temporary Resident Visa (TRV): CAD 100. Study permit: CAD 150. Work permit: CAD 155. Biometrics collection: CAD 85 extra. All fees paid online via IRCC and are non-refundable.

Visa-free entry for 60+ nationalities (EU, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, most of Latin America) — completely free, no card or tax required. The FMM tourist permit is now electronic and issued free on arrival. Visa-required nationalities pay approximately USD 36 at a Mexican Consulate.

Visa-free entry is instant on arrival. Consular visa applicants typically wait 5–15 business days after submitting documents at a Mexican Consulate. The electronic FMM is processed automatically by airlines and immigration officers on arrival.

Visa-free nationals need no application. For visa-required nationalities, Mexico does not yet offer a general online visa portal — you apply in person or by mail at a Mexican Consulate. Some airlines collect FMM information digitally during check-in.

The FMM is valid for up to 180 days (exact duration set by the immigration officer on arrival) and cannot be extended. To stay beyond your FMM period, you must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa before expiry, or exit and re-enter Mexico with a new FMM.

Approximately USD 25–85 depending on where you purchase it — through an airline, travel agency, or Cuban consulate. Cards at the airport on arrival may cost more. US citizens travelling via third countries typically pay USD 85–150 for the green tourist card.

The standard tourist card allows 30 days, extendable once for 30 more days (max 60 days total per visit). Extensions cost approximately CUP 600–800 and are obtained at any Cuban immigration (Inmigracion) office.

You can purchase the tourist card through some airlines and travel agencies before departure. Airlines flying to Cuba often sell cards at check-in. You cannot purchase it directly from the Cuban government online, but it is available at Cuban Embassies and Consulates.

US citizens can travel under one of 12 OFAC-authorised categories (educational exchange, support for Cuban people, journalism, etc.) but purely recreational tourism remains prohibited under the US embargo. US bank cards and credit cards generally do not work in Cuba — bring cash (EUR or CAD preferred over USD).

Most nationalities are visa-free (EU, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and most Commonwealth countries) for up to 90 days — no fee. For those requiring a visa, fees are approximately USD 40–60. All visitors pay a departure tax of approximately USD 35 (usually included in airfare).

Visa-free nationals are admitted on arrival with no prior application. For visa-required nationals, a Jamaican High Commission or Embassy typically processes applications in 5–15 business days. Allow at least 4 weeks before travel.

Jamaica does not yet offer a fully online visa system. Visa-required nationals apply in person or by post at a Jamaican diplomatic mission. All visitors must complete the free Advance Passenger Information form online at visitjamaica.com before departure.

Tourist stays can be extended at the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) before your current permit expires. The typical tourist maximum is 6 months total. Extensions require a fee and are granted at PICA's discretion.

All visitors must complete the mandatory E-Ticket online at eticket.migracion.gob.do before travel. The fee is USD 10 per person and covers the tourist card, health declaration, and customs form in one. It replaces the old paper tourist card. Airlines verify compliance at check-in.

The E-Ticket (compulsory for all visitors) processes instantly online. Consular visas for requiring nationalities take 5–10 business days at a Dominican Embassy. Complete the E-Ticket before booking your check-in.

The E-Ticket for all visitors is fully online at eticket.migracion.gob.do — costs USD 10 and takes about 5 minutes. For nationalities requiring a full consular visa, that must be obtained separately at a Dominican Consulate before travel.

Overstaying beyond 30 days results in an exit fine (multa) paid at the airport on departure — up to DOP 4,000 (~USD 70) for extended overstays. You can apply to extend your stay at the DGM before expiry to avoid the fine.

Brazil is visa-free for EU, UK, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and many others. For nationalities requiring a visa, Brazil charges approximately USD 44.80 for the online eVisa at evisa.itamaraty.gov.br. Some nationalities requiring a consular visa pay USD 40–80 at a Brazilian Embassy.

Brazil grants most nationalities 90 days, with a maximum of 180 days in any 12-month period. Extensions for tourists are generally not granted. For longer stays, apply for a temporary visa before the 90-day period ends.

Argentina is visa-free for US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and all South American countries. The previous US reciprocity fee (USD 160) was abolished in 2016. Visa-required nationalities pay approximately USD 50–100 at an Argentine Embassy.

Visa-free nationals enter on arrival with no prior application. For visa-required nationalities, an Argentine Embassy typically processes applications in 5–15 business days. Allow extra time during summer (November–February).

Argentina does not currently offer a general online visa. Visa-required nationals apply at an Argentine Embassy. Check cancilleria.gob.ar for updates as Argentina has been developing its digital immigration system.

Yes. Extend at the Direccion Nacional de Migraciones before your 90 days expire (fee ~ARS 5,000–10,000) for an additional 90 days. A brief border exit and re-entry also resets your 90-day tourist allowance.

Peru is visa-free for US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and most of the Americas and Europe — free entry, no tourist card or tax required. Visa-required nationalities pay USD 30–65 at a Peruvian consulate.

Visa-free nationals enter on arrival for 90–183 days (varies by nationality). Consular visas are processed in 3–10 business days. Apply at least 3 weeks before travel for consular applications.

Peru does not yet offer a general online visa portal. Visa-required nationals apply at a Peruvian Embassy or Consulate. The Tarjeta Andina de Migracion (tourist card) is completed on arrival for all visitors.

Yes. Peru grants 90 days on arrival (extendable to 183 days max). Apply at a Migraciones office in Lima or major cities for a 90-day extension (fee ~USD 20). Simple border exits do not automatically reset the stay counter.

Chile is visa-free for US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and most Latin American countries. A free Tarjeta de Turismo is issued at the border. The former US reciprocity fee (USD 160) was abolished in 2014. Visa-required nationalities pay approximately USD 50–100 at a Chilean consulate.

Visa-free nationals receive an instant 90-day tourist permit on arrival. Consular applications take 5–15 business days. Chile's DEM (Departamento de Extranjeria) handles work and residency permits online at extranjeria.gob.cl.

No general online tourist visa exists. Consular applications are submitted at a Chilean Embassy. Chile's extranjeria.gob.cl portal handles residency and work permits online for those already in Chile.

90-day extensions are available at the DEM (Departamento de Extranjeria y Migracion) before expiry. A border crossing and re-entry also effectively resets the stay. Maximum per visit with extension: 180 days total.

Standard processing: 3–8 weeks (15 working days target). Priority: 5 working days. Super Priority: next day where available. The UK Home Office is transparent about current wait times at gov.uk/check-visa-processing-time.

Yes. Applications start online at gov.uk/apply-uk-visa — form, document upload, and fee payment. You then attend a UKVI Visa Application Centre appointment in person for biometrics. The UK system is highly digitalised, though the biometric step is still in-person.

No. Standard Visitor visas cannot be extended from inside the UK — you must leave and re-apply for a new visa. Other categories (student, skilled worker) can be extended via UKVI online. Overstaying results in a deportation record and a 10-year re-entry ban.

EUR 80 (~USD 87) for adults. EUR 40 for children aged 6–11. Free for children under 6. VFS Global service fees add EUR 10–30. The fee is set by EU regulation (same across all Schengen countries) and is non-refundable.

Submit 15 days to 6 months before travel. VFS typically processes within 10–15 working days once your file is complete. During peak periods (summer/Christmas), allow 4–6 weeks total from appointment to decision. Apply early — appointment slots fill weeks ahead.

You complete the application at france-visas.gouv.fr and prepare documents digitally, but an in-person appointment at VFS Global or the French Consulate is required for document submission and biometric enrolment. No fully virtual process exists.

The Schengen visa allows 90 days in any 180-day period across all 27 Schengen states combined. Extensions are only granted in exceptional circumstances (medical emergency, force majeure). In practice, tourist Schengen visas cannot be extended — leave the Schengen zone when your 90 days are up.

EUR 80 (adults) — the standard EU-mandated Schengen fee. VFS Global service fees of EUR 10–25 apply additionally. Germany processes some of the highest visa volumes globally from African and Asian applicants and is known for thorough financial documentation review.

Processing: 10–15 working days from appointment. However, appointment availability at German missions in high-demand countries (Nigeria, Cameroon, India) can be 4–12+ weeks away. Total end-to-end time: plan for 2–3 months.

Complete the application form online via the German Foreign Office portal. However, in-person document submission and biometric collection at the German Embassy, Consulate, or VFS Global VAC is required. No fully digital Schengen short-stay visa process exists.

No — unless in a genuine documented emergency confirmed by the Auslanderbehorde (Foreigners Authority). Overstaying a Schengen visa is recorded in the SIS II EU-wide database, resulting in a re-entry ban. Never overstay — plan your exit before your 90 days expire.

EUR 80 (adults), EUR 40 (children 6–11), free under 6. VFS Global service fees of EUR 10–27 apply additionally. Italy processes via VFS Global in most African countries and is one of the most popular Schengen destinations with very high application volumes.

15 working days standard processing. For West and Central Africa, total time from appointment booking to receiving the visa can be 2–3 months due to high demand. Italy requires detailed hotel bookings, round-trip flight reservations, and comprehensive travel insurance documentation.

Yes. A Schengen visa issued by Italy allows you to visit all 27 Schengen area states for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Apply through Italy's consulate if Italy is your main destination or first Schengen entry point.

Passport (valid 3+ months beyond Schengen exit), 2 photos (35x45mm, white background), signed Schengen application form, confirmed round-trip flights, hotel bookings, travel insurance (minimum EUR 30,000 coverage), 3 months of bank statements showing at least EUR 100/day for Italy, and employment letter or proof of financial means.

EUR 80 (adults) plus BLS International service charges (~EUR 20–30 in West Africa). Spain is one of Europe's most visited countries and consulate queues in West African cities are long. The fee is the same EU-mandated amount regardless of which Schengen country issues the visa.

10–15 working days from appointment. In Yaounde, Lagos, Dakar, or Abidjan, appointment availability can mean 6–12 weeks waiting before you can even submit documents. Total timeline: plan 2–3 months from decision to apply to visa in hand.

Spain uses BLS International for visa applications in many African countries. You book appointments online and upload some documents digitally, but in-person attendance for document submission and biometrics is still required. No fully digital Spain Schengen visa exists.

If you have previously held Schengen visas and travelled compliantly, Spain (and other Schengen states) may issue a multiple-entry visa valid for 1–5 years. This still only allows 90 days in any 180-day period. A long-validity Schengen visa does not mean you can stay indefinitely.

EUR 80 (standard Schengen fee) plus VFS Global service fees (~EUR 20–30). Portugal is notable for its D7 Passive Income visa (EUR 83) and D8 Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers, both requiring a consulate application followed by in-country registration.

Portugal's D8 Digital Nomad Visa is for remote workers earning at least EUR 3,480/month (4x Portuguese minimum wage). Valid 1–2 years and extendable, it can lead to permanent residency after 5 years. Apply at a Portuguese Consulate in your country before travelling.

Standard processing: 10–15 working days from submission. Portugal is generally efficient. The D7/Digital Nomad visa has a separate track with processing of 2–6 months.

Yes. A Schengen visa issued by Portugal allows entry to all 27 Schengen states for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Apply through Portugal's consulate if Portugal is your main destination or first point of Schengen entry.

EUR 80 (adults) plus VFS Global service fees (~EUR 20–30). The Netherlands — particularly Amsterdam Schiphol — is a major hub for Africa-to-Europe flights, making Dutch Schengen applications very common for West and Central African travellers.

10–15 working days from your VFS appointment. Appointment availability in high-demand West African cities can add 4–8 weeks to the timeline. The Dutch consulate has strict financial proof requirements — EUR 34–57 per day minimum, clearly evidenced by bank statements.

The Schengen rule allows a maximum 90-day stay in any rolling 180-day period across all 27 Schengen states combined. The 180-day window is calculated backward from any given day. Overstaying even one day creates a Schengen ban and is recorded in the SIS II EU database.

VFS Global handles Dutch applications in most African countries — partially digital (book online, upload documents) but an in-person biometric appointment is required. The Netherlands does not offer a fully digital short-stay Schengen visa.

Japan does not charge a visa fee for most nationalities — the short-stay visa is issued free. 68 nationalities are visa-exempt for 90 days (EU, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, etc.). Some agencies charge a handling fee (~JPY 3,000 / USD 20). Japan's application is free but you must use an authorised travel agency in some countries.

Standard processing: 5–10 business days after document submission. Japan doesn't offer an eVisa for most nationalities (a limited eVisa pilot exists from 2023). Most applicants submit in person at the Japanese Embassy or Consulate, or through an authorised travel agency.

Japan launched a limited eVisa system in 2023 for some nationalities. For most African passport holders, the in-person consulate application (or via an authorised travel agency) is still required. Check the Japanese Embassy website in your country for current eligibility.

Extensions require an application at the Regional Immigration Bureau before expiry — granted only for compelling reasons with full documentation. Tourism alone is generally not sufficient. Japan enforces its immigration rules very strictly; overstaying results in deportation and a re-entry ban.

Many nationalities enter visa-free on arrival for 90 days: EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia. For others: 30-day tourist visa: AED 350 (~USD 95); 60-day tourist visa: AED 650 (~USD 177); multiple-entry 30-day visa: AED 550 (~USD 150). Fees set by GDRFA/ICP.

Yes. Extend online through ICP or GDRFA for an additional 30 days (fees apply). Alternatively, exit and re-enter to start a new visa period. Overstaying in the UAE incurs fines of AED 50–100 per day — settle all fines before departing to avoid issues at the airport.

Yes. Singapore's ICA online portal or authorised agencies handle eVisa applications digitally. You receive approval by email — print for arrival. Singapore does not require an in-person embassy visit for tourist eVisas — the process is fully digital.

Visitor passes can be extended at the ICA office for compelling reasons — not automatic and not tourist-convenience-driven. The alternative is to depart briefly (e.g. to Johor Bahru, Malaysia) and return. Singapore is strict about immigration compliance.

Temporary Residence Permit (Tourist): ZAR 1,520 (~USD 82). Many African nationalities (Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia) are visa-free, as are EU, UK, and US passport holders for up to 90 days. VFS/TLScontact service fees of ZAR 200–400 apply additionally.

7–10 business days standard processing. During peak periods (June–August, December), allow 3–4 weeks. All applicants must give biometrics in person at a VFS or TLScontact centre — no purely postal applications for most African applicants.

South Africa piloted an eVisa for some nationalities in 2022. For most applicants (including Cameroon, Nigeria, DRC), the process involves completing Form BI-84 online and attending a VFS/TLScontact appointment for biometrics. Check dha.gov.za for the latest eVisa eligibility.

Visa-free nationals pay nothing to enter. The government departure tax of FJD 200 (~USD 90) is charged on international departures — usually included in your airline ticket. Visa-required nationalities pay approximately FJD 100 (~USD 45) at a Fiji Embassy or High Commission.

Visa-free visitors receive a 4-month (120-day) permit on arrival — one of the most generous tourist allowances in the Pacific. Extensions can be granted at the Fiji Immigration Department. The maximum permitted stay per visit is 6 months.

Fiji is the definition of a tropical paradise — over 330 islands with turquoise lagoons, world-class coral reefs, and world-famous Fijian hospitality (Bula!). The Mamanuca and Yasawa island groups are outstanding dive destinations. Fiji uses the Fijian Dollar (FJD) and English is widely spoken.
