    if they included in your application then they will be part of the total application fee..
    kung hindi mo babayaran, then hindi sila makaksama sa visa mo...
    mas mahirap pag separate application pa sila... at tatanungin ka pa bakit di mo sinama dati..

    Hi. Question po about sa visa fee. Meron na po ba dito nag lodge after March 22, 2014?
    Nkalagay kasi dun na dibp will introduce a surcharge for fees made thru credit cards, effective March 22, 2014. Kaso walang nakalagay how much. Maglolodge na kasi kami ng visa applix pero I dont know kung enough ang top up na nilagay ko sa credit card. Thanks in advance :)
