About Visa Cost Estimator

Visa costs vary significantly by destination, nationality, and application method. Indian passport holders require visas for most developed countries. Common costs: USA B1/B2 visa approximately $185; Schengen visa 80 euros; UK Standard Visitor visa 115 pounds; Japan eVisa approximately 3,000 yen. These application fees are non-refundable regardless of the visa decision.

Additional costs often overlooked: mandatory travel insurance required for Schengen and many other countries, medical certificates, document notarisation, courier fees for passport submission, and VFS or BLS service centre fees typically Rs 2,000-4,500 extra per application. Processing time varies from same-day for e-visas to 8-12 weeks for USA, Canada, and Australia. Always apply well in advance and ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity beyond your planned return date.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a ballpark figure based on typical published application fees for common routes — for example, a USA B1/B2 visa around $185, a Schengen visa around 80 euros, or a UK Standard Visitor visa around 115 pounds. Actual fees vary by your specific nationality, the visa category, and change over time, so always verify the current fee on the destination's official embassy, consulate or visa-application-centre website before applying.
This covers only the base visa application fee. It doesn't include commonly required extras like mandatory travel insurance (required for Schengen and many other visas), medical certificates, document notarisation, courier fees for passport submission, or VFS/BLS service-centre charges, which can add a meaningful amount — often in the range of Rs 2,000-4,500 per application for third-party service fees alone.
Selecting express processing applies a 1.5× multiplier to the base per-person fee in the estimate, reflecting that most visa authorities charge a premium for faster processing. The exact express fee and whether it's even offered depends on the destination and visa type.
E-visas and visa-on-arrival schemes can be issued within hours or days, while standard visitor visas for countries like the USA, Canada and Australia can take 8-12 weeks depending on demand and your application centre. Always apply well ahead of your travel date, and make sure your passport has at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your planned return.
