List of consular fees for the different services
1. Consular fees
You will find all consular fees via the PDF document above.
Remember to always pay the listed amount in JMD.
The amount to be paid is the amount applicable on the day of your appointment.
The exchange rate may change. We therefore advise to check the price in JMD a couple of days before your appointment or before you send us your documents, and to pay it at that point in time to avoid paying a wrong amount.
How to pay? See Payment.
2. Specific information about visa fees
The visa fee covers the processing cost of a visa application.
Visa fees cannot be refunded if:
- the visa is refused,
- the applicant cancels their application or does not travel,
- a payment is made when an exemption applies and the applicant did not read the information correctly,
- a wrong amount is paid because the applicant did not read the above carefully.
If you have any further questions, please send us a message (kingston@diplobel.fed.be).
